Triggered: I justify bad behavior .

As the late great Maya Angelou said, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. The thing is - I never believed them the first & so I caused my own heartbreaks. Navigating through your twenty-somethings is different; you hear something, but you may not comprehend then later - talk about a delayed reaction.

I believed in chances ... sometimes too many, and the most insane part is I always knew the outcome of these air quote chances. Insanity, I know, but I hoped for different.

I’ve suffered so many sleepless nights filled with agony from a broken-heart pouring out with disappointment because I didn’t believe people the first time - not just romantically, in friendship & even business. Expectations will rob your joy.

Stop breaking your heart trying to play God over someone’s life. The truth is people don’t change, at least not for you.

Moving forward, I ask myself this, and I’ll ask you this too, whether in love, friendship, business & life :

Does this person embody the things you deem morally important?

Do they align with your inner reflection of self?

Stop breaking your heart trying to play God over someone’s life. The truth is people don’t change, at least not for you.

Happy Healing , Return back to center & practice self lovery. 

Love, Peace & Transparency
