Hey Pumpkins! I hope you loves are well and keeping safe.
Do not forget to take necessary precautions to protect yourselves, those around you and loved ones from the virus.
When I created this platform my main objective was to create a safe space for me to share my thoughts, life experiences and everything I love with hopes that someone will relate and know that s/he is not alone.
To create a safe space for everyone to be their authentic selves without being judged.
I vowed to be authentic and transparent with you guys and to tell my truth no matter how hard it is, therefor LET'S GET REAL hunz!
I have always been someone who is interested in self-development, becoming the best version of myself career wise, spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically (ok physically is uhm... a work-in-progress). I love getting to know and understanding myself.
The past couple of weeks (well the year 2020) has been a rollercoaster for all of us but with everything that has happened I am super grateful because I am not the same person I was 11 months ago with that being said, that means I am getting to know this new version of myself.
As humans we can never fully say we know ourselves because with every challenge change is inevitable and not everything we know about ourselves is all that.
I made a couple of "mistakes" for sure both professionally and personally. The one thing I learnt was that who I am is perfectly fine and there is a reason why my walls are built so high and strong therefor I should never work overtime trying to adjust or break them down when the right person or opportunity comes they will breakdown on their own or the person will be able to fit in perfectly.
Strong women are told to tone down their voices because they will scare people off, they should lower their standards, dream a little less and so forth but I have come to realize that when I listen to society and shrink myself at the end of the day I am left with nothing but regrets and disappointment.
For the longest time I have been told that I am "too much" of that and "too much" of this, I will not lie sometimes I almost believed them but BABY BABY! YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE. NO ONE CAN TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE.
The initial motive for this post was to write about how I am unlearning what I thought I knew or been taught and becoming but honestly y'all sometimes you do not need to change what is not broken you just have to perfect it and let it be. That is exactly what I am doing. I am a phenomenal woman sometimes my crown slips and I forget that. Oops!
With that being said I am a work-in-progress. I am a Queen and I AM BECOMING.
To all my pumpkins who are striving for greatness be it personally or career wise BE KIND TO YOURSELF. Always do the right thing instead of an easy thing. When you feel like you can do better listen to that even when people say otherwise because deep down you know your full potential and what you can bring into the table for yourself.
Love you lots pumpkins X
