Sit Down

I am empowered now, and I am going to stay this way.

I was brainwashed into thinking that I had no power. My inner strength was so weak that Theresa almost died. No human being on earth should ever have to go through life brainwashed because some ass whole decided it was your turn to die. I don’t mean dye in the sense that you have no more life in you. I mean to die in the sense of verbal, mental, and emotional death, and this doesn’t limit actual physical end either. Physical death is the last step, but while I am still on this earth, I will always speak the truth about my reality no matter how much resistance I get. Some people will probably be pissed off at me for saying these things, but it needs to be said for various reasons.

Sit me next to the woman that’s doing better than me so I can learn!

I say sit me next to the woman who is doing better than me so I can learn because I know that she has experience in things that I haven’t done yet. I already know that she knows more than me because of how she wears her crown. It is tricky because all women are different, and we all need the same things—love, respect, security, loyalty, and consistency. We as women will and most times go through life gathering up pieces of men to try and build their King, but that is a disaster waiting to happen. I need to be around other women that have cried those tears in the late-night hours. Those secret conversations you have with yourself about certain situations that others don’t know about yet. I need to be around these women because they are the ones that hold the keys for me to keep climbing and maintaining this vessel.

Some of you are so insecure that you only feel better around people you think are beneath you.

I know many women precisely like this, and they believe they are better than you, and you are beneath them. I never understood why some women walk around with their asses on their shoulders and not even say good morning to you like you were the one that fucked up their lives just for existing yourself.

When I encounter an insecure woman, I can’t even be mad at her because I know she is coming from a place of pain and hurting herself. I use to be those women all the time for years. I slowly started noticing that I was taking on some of their negative traits and mindsets. Insecure, no love for myself, slowly losing myself in others that I knew were destroying me slowly. Now I am no longer doubtful. I am confident, and I am going to stay this way for as long as I live.

No sister, learn to be inspired, not INTIMIDATED.

My job on this earth that I know of is to uplift and inspire as many others as possible. Being that I am a woman first, it is my nature to uplift and encourages other women to be the best versions of themselves that they can be. Sometimes, though, some women get intimidated by the very fact that you exist in the world. They start saying silly little things that they think will go over your head because they want you not to be the one getting all the positive attention. So, what do they do? They go around and start talking shit about you behind your back and turn right around and smile in your face as if nothing ever happened.

I am still a fucking lady about all that I do, and I will distance myself from you because you are a nasty person. You don’t want to grow and develop into a beautiful flower. You want other women to hand over their crown to you because you think she doesn’t deserve it. Wrong, all women have a crown on their head, but if your crown is cracked and the diamonds don’t shine and sparkle like they use to, take a good look in the mirror and fix you first. In other words, sit the fuck down.
