Life Has a Way

Life has a way of making you question yourself. Regret decisions. Feel like you're so far down that there is no up anymore. Life has a way of feeling like the hits will never stop coming. Like you've finally turned a corner...only to run right into a fortified brick wall. Like it builds you up just to drop you right back down.

BUT...

Life also has a way of showing you how strong you are. How necessary you are. How blessed you are. How beautifully simple and simply beautiful it all is. Life has a funny way of showing you yourself, for better and for worse.

Whether life is showing you its fangs or it's sheer glory, I hope that you never stop living it. You're stronger than the worst news. Your light will lead someone out of the darkness when they're struggling. So be strong. Stay the course. Keep that head up. Straighten up that crown, sis. Harlem shake off all that negativity. The world needs you, even when it seems like it doesn't.

You've got this. You always have.
