November 25, 2019 01:00 - 3 minutes - 2.37 MBMary Jane was my best friend for the last 2 years. She was my comfort zone... My warm blanket and she protected me from the cold.

Sometimes we have to release and surrender to the next phase we're on, and we have to grow in new ways and it can be really uncomfortable...and scary at first. But tha...

It makes me confusing for both me and my friends, which is probably why I don’t have any, except for the few I talked to in my head. And I know my confusing ways make me look inconsistent in a lot of ways. It looks like she’s always trying to find her thing...

November 12, 2019 15:00 - 3 minutes - 2.24 MBMy intuition is telling me you’re afraid to take this next step you’re being called to take. And you know it... That’s why your self keeps sabotaging you by making you beat yourself up. That’s why you’re falling down and practically knocking yourself out because you don’t think you’re good enough to be alone. That’s why you keep looking outside of yourself for someone to make you feel whole. And I get it. Being the attention of someone else feels very good. But you’ve had that bef...

85. Decide
October 16, 2019 15:00 - 1 minute - 1.29 MBTo decide means we are cutting off the contemplation of something else as we commit to one path. One concept. One thing. When we decide to go all-in, therein lies the power to attract what it is, you want by making a decision. To decide causes the effect of cooperative components to facilitate the next logical step. Thus, without the power of making a decision, you’re left drifting in a sea of uncertainty, never really getting the momentum you need to change your reality. LET’S B...
