Dear us.

Hey girl! It’s a new year, it’s 2021! How are you feeling about this new year.? We have been through a lot haven’t we? The tragedy following Kobe Bryant, Covid-19, job losses, unpaid rent, loss of family members and so much more. We made it right, didn’t we make it through tho.? Ok ok we barely made it through, pulling every strand of hair out of our heads during this lock down. Ohhh the lock down, shaking my head. It was cool at first and then turned into a nightmare. We cried so many times because we didn’t know whether we were coming or going. We started meditating half way through every thing and jumping through hoops and over hurdles during our healing process. We have to keep telling ourselves that this is our year. We are letting go of the past situations and creating our future. Reflect! Manifest! Redirect! We can not let ourselves fall back into our ways. We have to learn hurt and pain when we feel it.

2020 has taught us to sit with our thoughts and understand them. We were going through tough depression but we made it through by understanding ourselves. We’ve learned new crafts and skills to take away our boredom. Drawing, painting or playing a new instrument to occupy our time. We did everything to try and shout out or tragedy.

We decided on reading and read many books we had already, but then, we slowly moved towards self care. Reading about chakras and self healing from parents, relationships and even bullying. We learned how to cook new recipes and bake new things and thought of business ventures using our new skills. TikTok showed us a different wave of love and laughter. We danced with friends and family. We shared our cooking advice and opinions on life. Elections drained us and showed us another side to our Government. We still

Made it through, barely! The good thing is, we learned more about ourselves than we ever thought we would. We have to make the most of our experiences for this new year. This year we will become us. We are staying away from the many things that don’t elevate us. No more anxiety or depression. We are done with bad relationships and acquaintances. We will not be used in any way anymore by anyone else. No one deserves your love unless they can add to your happiness. You don’t need a burden but more so stability. So stop crying your heart out over lost lovers and even friends. Don’t lower your standards anymore. Keep them high and never settle. Keep your word and never let anyone change your mind.

Let’s overcome everything using self care and going back to our ancestors for that holistic care. Stop letting people come through what you want to become. I know you’ve been struggling lately with who you are meant to be. Trying to stay in the shadows because of what people may think of you. You don’t know how they will perceive you and acceptance is a big thing in today’s society. A lot of people are doubting you right now and you are really feeling that energy. From always being misunderstood you never really knew how to break out of that shell. This year we are taking back our power and we will show everyone who we were put on this earth to be.! We will not give up. This is our year to change some minds and show people a path of healing and love. We keep going back and forth in our heads and we have to give that up if we wanna be a better us. Take a few looks in the mirror and see you without any flaws and see you as the beautiful person you are. See yourself every morning and speak positive affirmations on yourself and your life.! We are going to go out there and be ourselves. We are now ready to show the world who Jonneisha is.!
