They claim to want the best for you, and that they want success for you
But only in the way that have deemed is best for you
They say they want you to rise but hope that you fall
So, they can pick you up dust you off and claim credit for it all
They work themselves to the bone to give you and easy life
But resent you as you live carefree without strife
Like why are you living without the struggle they tried to save you from
They’re not on your side it's one for all but not all for one
You wish no one ill will you want everyone to make it
But when they see you about to win their spirit can’t take it
They would rather drag you down then to see you rise without them
You’re going to reach the top regardless not because of but despite them
They’re your family your friends your coworkers your “people”
But they don’t think the same as you do, you’re unique and they are sheeple
They want you to do it their way even though it isn’t working
Misery loves company and your people are hurting
You’re a free spirit, and they can’t bear it because theirs is in a cage
but their story is unwritten they simply have to turn the page
or a new leaf and break away from what they were taught
but they’re too scared to do so they are feeling distraught
they want to do what you are doing but what’s stopping them is ego
they only know the old you, all they think is what does she know?
Herself her worth her path her purpose,
That what doesn’t bring you joy in this life is worthless
You’re not driven by the money or worldly possession
Take out a notepad class is in session
If you want to live the life you’ve always wanted to live
The price is your old life it's what you must give
You place in this world is everywhere you feel drawn to
You change every day the past you is gone boo
They want to figure you out and put you in a box
But they can’t seem to do it you’re fort freaking Knox
You’re not just one thing you have so many dreams
What meets the eye is not always what it seems

No Cap
In 2022 I’m going to go a hell of a lot easier on myself about work and here is why. I was meditating the other day and a thought came to me. Sometimes the only reason you don’t have what you want is that you don’t yet think you deserve it. This above all else is the key to manifesting your dreams and any self-limiting beliefs will drag you down like an anchor. Whether it be capitalism, the media, or people who think hard labor is the key to all their perceived success, someone along the way ingrained in us that we must suffer before we soar. You must put your blood sweat and tears into something before you can see any earnings. You must sacrifice to the God’s before your blessings come in. To me it was the church, be like Jesus, be meek, work hard. sacrifice yourself for the greater good, and you will be rewarded in heaven. Let me tell you right now the Mega rich didn’t get where they are with slaving away at someone else’s company until their hard work was noticed and opportunity was given to them. They gave a pound of flesh, but it is that of their workers, they have pushed the narrative that hard work pays off so that they can have a bunch of hard workers willing to do anything for their company, meanwhile they do little to no work and would offer you up as a sacrificial lamb to save a few thousand dollars a year. In many countries Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Germany for example, things like free healthcare and free college tuition are given to all their citizens because those are basic rights, and everyone is having access to these things just for existing. In America, they make you pay for those necessities by offering up your life in the military or offering up the majority of your life working to keep a small percentage of wealthy people even more wealthy. They take away your basic needs and then offer them back to you for a high price. I don’t know about ya’ll but for me the year of the struggle is over my friends, you deserve good things, you deserve to have free healthcare, you deserve to have free college tuition You are inherently worthy just for existing. Don’t let these lemmings in the comment sections of controversial social media videos make you feel like you’re not thriving in life because you haven’t pulled yourself up by your bootstraps and put in an honest day’s work. You aren’t thriving because the system was designed to keep your head barely above water so you can’t leave your jobs because the owners of that company want to amass more money than they know what to do with. You have been convinced that only a certain select few people can live lavishly and have a beautiful home and eat well. You have been conditioned to believe that the people you see in movies, TV shows, celebrities, politicians, & rich white men in power are the only ones with access to the ability to live abundantly. If there is anything social media has taught us it’s that anyone with a niche business idea or a bubbly personality and a lot to say can amass a cult-like following and be paid for their creative contribution to the world. So, whatever your childhood dream was that thing that people told you wasn’t attainable or that your parents wouldn’t support, and you stop considering as an option. That thing that’s more of a hobby and just something you really enjoy doing and shouldn’t be considered work because you love it some much, Do that! There is a guy with 500,000 followers who literally just shows him working at McDonalds all day. There is a lady who just bakes pretty cakes in her kitchen at home. People care what you have to say, and more than that you can leverage those followers to make you money. This year go easier on yourself about how working harder is the best way to make money. That’s just not true the hardest workers are the most underpaid and companies are taking advantage of the fact that you feel like you can’t turn down their unattractive offers. The best way to make money is to do what you’re truly passionate about because fortune favors the brave. Be brave, get an account, share your hobbies, your passions, hell just share your time and talk with people, and I promise the universe will conspire to make you money because you are honoring yourself. Sometimes self-care is doing that thing you’re too scared to do because someone told you, you couldn’t do it, or several someones over the course of a lifetime, either way silence those self-limiting thoughts in your head because they usually aren’t even your thoughts those are things people think about you.
