You do not know this, but that’s why I wanted to share this with you. Just you. So, there is this little story sitting in my Google Drive right now that I poured time, sweated my edges out from revamping, and my late-night energy into. A novella.

Let me be real for a second.
Lately, it feels like my life has turned into a show I didn’t
audition for. I don’t even know the network, but somehow a lot of folks pulled
up a front-row seat. People who never checked for me before suddenly watching
my every move. People who once talked down to me now are scrolling through my
page to make sure they did not miss a post. Folks popping up, lurking, and
watching curiously.
It’s almost funny how peace makes you more noticeable than commotion
ever did.
I do not know why this is happening, but there is a shift. A
shift is happening in my life right now, and I didn’t expect it. I welcome it
though.
You see I have been minding my business. Raising my kids. Going to work. Focusing on school. Plus, I have protected my peace at all costs. This has all been my whole vibe for 2025. I am talking about discipline over drama.

This Halloween season, I have made the sound decision that I am not dressing up. I am laying some versions of myself to rest.

Losing yourself can happen slowly. Before you know it, you have given your energy to heartbreak, exhaustion, and responsibilities. One day you wake up and realize you’ve been surviving and not shining. However, there is no need to feel down and out. Your confidence isn’t gone. Your confidence is buried under the weight of everything you have carried.
