 " When God decides to give you siblings, He knows how much you can take."   I always considered myself a loner and I have siblings.  This mindset made my time on earth interesting. Even when I was told that I'm not alone, it always seemed like it was fake.  I had a conversation with my older brother Eddy yesterday and I was reminded of his place in my life. Dear God,  Thank you.

Dear you,  So we meet again.  How did you manage to get yourself in the same exact situation you swore not to go back to?  Why did you second guess yourself in the first place? You knew it was going to end here.  This lesson keeps repeating because you're refusing to learn.  Sincerely,  Please remember the question on the test that's giving you trouble and study for it. This is costing you peace and happiness and you deserve every bit of it.

Dear God, I am in the dark right now. Physically and metaphorically. I can't picture the end of the tunnel. I see no lights. Maybe it's because my eyes aren't used to the darkness yet. Or maybe I'm closing my eyes so tight that im fearful of opening them and be faced with reality. Either or, I don't see a hint of light anywhere and honestly, I'm scared. I'm scared but I trust you. I trust that every day that goes by, you are guiding me to the end. I know I'm not lost and I know that I can hear you. I just can't see anything. Thank you for reminding me that because you are God, my steps are ordered. Take care of me and those going through this right now not knowing how to deal with fear. Amen.

" Everyday, begin with an act of hope and courage. Getting out of bed" - Mason Cooley Let me tell you something about April; I aspire to be more like her. Actually, I think that WE, as a society should aspire to be more like April. Never overstay your welcome! Guys, we finally made it to MAY!!! *crowd cheers*. Honestly, this is my favorite month. I remember when 2020 started, I told myself that I was going to keep pushing no matter what and guess what I did? I pushed. I started off my year in the hospital. Wait. Hold on ... Before I give you a long story short, let me just open up a parenthesis because I don't get to acknowledge my support system often. [ ... I have a friend who became my sister. Her name is Vanessa Jules. My heart gets full every time I think about what she's done for little ol' me throughout the years. I want to give a big fat thank you to her. I'm not the most opened person, but she's been patient with me every step of the way. ...

Day ..... of quarantine. " what is your morning and night routine ?" When the quarantine first started, i really had no routine and I'm trying really hard to establish one at best for the end of it. My mornings are usually rough but when I wake up, I shower as I would getting ready for work. I go in the kitchen and make myself a cup of tea and add some sea moss in it. It's a great energy booster. Then I log in for work. At around 10am -11am, i have brunch. Laugh at me all you want but I litterally have brunch. I sometimes even choose to have either or; You know ? ... just to add a little Juuj. Since I spend most of my days at work and leave work and stay home, i decided to tweak my night routine a little bit. I usually try and gather myself for an hour after work. No talking to anybody just sitting in silence. I find it rebalances me a little. I don't get to think about anything. I just get to be. Around 5:00pm or 5:30pm to 6:00pm, I go for a walk. S...

Guys, you know when you're overly excited for something but cannot for the life of you wrap your mind around it? So you start to work on other things and instead of working in order and taking your time, you're all over the place because something just doesn't feel quite right yet... Today's question was : " What do I need to let go of that's out of my control today?" Uhm, for strarters ... the need to always panic when i should sit still and gather myself before making a drastic decison ?? Helloooo !?! Honestly though, if there is one thing I needed to let go of today was my constant need to always be in control of something. This will be a work in progress but coming to the realization of this is making me see a different perspective of things. When you see this question , what is it making you think of ? What is the one thing that you will let go of that you have no control over ?
