Leave Him in Your Past.

If we’re going to be completely fair, honestly must lead the discussion. Sometimes he’s the past because the man he is simply isn’t build for the woman you are. There might have been healing that needed to happen on you part as you might have been the toxic party. If you have you healed before going back to someone you hurt. This is a difficult self-discussion because no one wants to be the one at fault…especially us. However, in this we must give the same thing we want to receive. Furthermore, in terms of growth you may have found your purpose and truly got to know who you are and what you need in a partner. Even if the brother is gold, he might not be what you need for who you are now. Of course, there are exceptions whereby the ex becomes the spouse they were always meant to be. However, in most cases…he’s an ex for a reason. We respect our past, but it is wise to move forward in purpose and that includes love. If you find yourself recycling the same relationships, and meeting the same unhappy ending its time for a new experience.

She’s Always In A Storm.

If your sista is in a perpetual story, you are burnt out, and need to figure out what to do. Please start with securing who you are, and where you stand as a sista. Look at your boundaries for a relationship with her, and others. If you don’t have any it’s time to create some so that you don’t eventually snap due to pressure and mistreatment. Allow yourself to demand reciprocity and balance. Allow yourself the space to be honest. If honesty, with care, costs you a sista you must consider that relationship may not have been for you. Being loyal doesn’t me allowing someone to mistreat you. Sometimes being supportive means stepping back; you can offer advice, but you can’t live for her. Sometimes she has to learn to calm the storm, and that doesn’t make you an awful sista…it makes you one that truly cares for her wellbeing.

The Strong Need Safe Spaces.

Let’s love on our strong sistahs. We must create the space to let them know they are appreciated, and they are not alone. They must receive the care that we ourselves demand.

Last I Checked You Aren’t God.

There are too many that deem themselves so “taught of the Lord” that there is blatant misinterpretation of scripture for the purpose of getting someone(s) to do and live as those teaching feel they should. This completely unnecessary. God’s Word doesn’t need assistance. People deserve better

Don’t Call Me Sistah.

Dead to Wanting to Fit.

I’m dead to wanting to fit, and I strongly suggest you do the same. Be advised it doesn’t fix the situations and differences that exist. However, you are moving authentically so the rest will take care of itself.

The Hypocrisy is Blinding.

It is a corrosive disease that eats away at the foundation of any relationship. It is a gateway to soul deep lies, deception and manipulation. It is judgement in the most damaging form, and though it is easily seen…it’s hardly called out in a manner befitting the evil it intends.
