Gifts

No I'm not talking about something that was purchased and given to you. This gift is priceless and can't be brought. This gift was embedded in you from the time you were born. This gift is yours and no one else's. We all have gifts that we've been blessed with but some of us aren't using them. Many of us are sleeping on our gifts. We must awaken from this deep slumber and start living. 

Lately I've personally been struggling with sleeping on my own gift. Yeah I've come to the realization of what it is but there's still a disconnect from actually moving forward. Fears and doubts stand in the way at times but I continue to tell myself that those things kill more dreams than failure ever will. It's so easy to compare your gifts to others and although there's may in fact be very similar to yours

there gifts are not yours. There's something that differentiate yours from everyone else's. 

We all know it's ALWAYS easier said than done. Let's all promise to rid those pessimistic thoughts. They do nothing for you. Learn to see the good in everything. Failure is not an option and those small mini roadblocks are just detours. Take that gift of yours and use it. Remember we were not given the spirit of fear!! Success may not be in your grasps at first but it's very much so reachable. Keep trying and never give up, that gift you have must be shared with the world. 

Awaken from that slumber and live! You don't want to wake up from that coma of stagnancy and wonder what could have happened. Those could haves...should haves thoughts are never a good feeling. Spare yourself!!! 

Finding Queendom

All of a sudden I've been on this new found high. The thought of journeying to this place called Queendom gives me such joy. A place where you have realized your worth and refuse to ever settle for anything less. It's so interesting to get to a place where you have no cares in the world because all is well with your soul.  

I've become the biggest feminist since I've started this journey to Queendom. Queendom is a mind set. Knowing and fully understanding that you are a Daughter of the King. Truly understanding that you are precious and can not give yourself to everybody. This doesn't even have to be anything sexual it could be something as simple as your attention and time. 

Everybody does not deserve your time and attention. Time is valuable it is something you can't get back. Time is easily wasted when it is spent with  mediocracy. Learn to seperate yourself from certain things. You can't move to the next level carrying dead weight. Elevation can't occur if you're weighted down by unnessary things. As you'll start to elevate in life you'll notice some unnessary baggage will drop off by itself. I've learned that everyone can not move to the next level with you and you must be okay with that. Vowe to no longer hold on to things that mean you no good including people. 

I can honestly say that I've enjoyed  spending time alone on this journey. You can be the best company that you'll ever have. Embrace being alone. You don't always need to be surrounded by other folk.  This gives you time to have some deep self reflection. Don't confuse being alone as loneliness. Get to know you. Get to the point where you love spending time alone by yourself. Deep thoughts aid in growth. You can not partake in those thoughts surrounding yourself with chaos. It's okay to be a little selfish if it's bettering you as an individual. Separate yourself. Let's all do some deep soul searching. 

Pretty Hurts

I'm still trying to figure out this whole blog thing. I get so overwhelmed with the focus being solely on fashion but it's safe to say that I enjoy sharing more than just fashion. Don't get me wrong I LOVE FASHION but I love talking about life in general not just my outfit of the day. 

          ••SUNDAY FUN DAY••

I know it seems cliche to be quoting a Beyonce song but the song Pretty Hurts really explains the hardships that come with placing the heavy expectations of the world we live in on our soldiers. It's so easy to let this world rule our perceptions of what we consider "pretty". I too have fallen into this deep, dark, shallow tunnel of mainstream beauty. The sinking sand of perfection. The more you strive to fit the mold that was given to us by society the deeper you'll sink. I vowed to no longer let what I see cloud my self reflection. It's so easy to claim self love but do you really have it? It's so easy to fool yourself and claim to have something you've never ever grasped. I am getting to a place where I can honestly say that I am happy with who I  am, what I am, and who I am becoming. I no longer have time  for negative thoughts and pessimism.

Negativity doesn't just show up in your life it's something that you allow in. Changing your outlook and refusing to entertain negative thoughts makes room for SO MUCH MORE IN LIFE! Let's all vowe to fall in love with that person you see in the mirror everyday. Let's no longer tear ourselves down by comparing ourselves to the next person. It's easier said then done, I can honestly say I now understand that I am Fearfully and Wonderfully made. My flaws are perfected in Him. 

There's no one in this world like you. You are an original. The best you can ever be is number two constantly striving to be someone else other than yourself. Don't conform to what this world expects you to be. You'll just become a miniture clone living life day by day looking to someone else for validation. It's a battle you'll never win so don't even bother placing yourself in the ring. It'll just leave you beat and battered. It's time to do some serious soul searching and get to a place where we can say ALL IS WELL WITH MY SOUL. 

Now that I'm off my soap box let's get into to this POSH PAISLEY!!!! Everyone knows that I am a huge fan of thrifting. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!
