I Made It

And I can slay some fabric!

Well I’ve made it through another year of this thang called life.  The last year ended and this new one started at a rocky point but I am still standing. This year (like them all) has taught me so many lessons. From being hired to do a job and wanting to see a black man succeed to later realizing he is an ASSHOLE who can’t take feedback to grow. That opportunity allowed for me to learn how to stand up for myself and realize when it’s time to let things go. I can’t help all black people be the best version of themselves. Sometimes they don’t want this little black girl’s help. I’ve also been extremely frustrated when you are doing more than what is required and that is not being appreciated. I face a regular internal struggle when parents are unappreciative but the girls I work with are AMAZING. I really enjoying being able to bless them with experiences and skills but some parents make me want to be like “screw this”. On the flipside, I have the other parents who appreciative willing to do what they can to help! I’ve been reminded that a sense of entitlement is real in some people. Some people feel like you owe them something and others are thankful of what you do. I have to take the good with the bad in my attempt to empower young women of the future. I use these opportunity to hopefully show the girls to support one another and be appreciative of the things they are given. In addition, I’ve learned to let go and let it flow in certain areas of my life. It shall be what it will be and sometimes that is nothing. I’m okay with that.  What’s for me is for me. I can’t control everything and my life looks nothing like what I thought it would at this point of my life. So many around me are living the life I envisioned for myself.  I’m continuing to trust the journey of this thing called my life. Trust and believe that it is not always easy trusting my journey but at the end of the day, at this ripe young age of “25” I am blessed. My bills are paid, I eat well, and I work in areas I am passionate about. I have an amazing support system around me to help me keep my sanity when needed. I’m ready for what this next year has to offer me hopefully more good than bad!
