Love yourself

You think the grass is greener on the other side?

Ha, please hush

I left love for lust and went from I want him so bad to me getting out becoming a must

I went from planned dates and picnics

To becoming a domestic violence victim

Not even having to look in the mirror to know my eye is black. And already feeling the rings around my neck

Convincing myself the last time was the last time then he’d say he loved me and I’d give him one more last time

Silly thoughts within like girl don’t worry put your hair to the side those scars are thin

It’s summer time outside put them shades on

Everyone knows a black eye eventually fades

But what about them stitches. How can one possibly miss them

Forget all that stupid me left it up to him to fix it and his definition of that was come here baby let daddy kiss it

It was like every time I started to heal he’d start again , like he hated the skin I was in

Plenty of nights I found myself wanting to finish him

Knowing that was a battle I could never win

Broken windshields and kicked in doors thank god I found the strength to leave because I couldn’t stand the war

Ladies and gents love yourself, know that you are always worth more

No support…

I salute those who made their dreams come true without any support. I also question how those who lacked support did it without giving up. Quite frequently I will see posts or articles on social media stating that no support is all the support one needs. I have not wrapped my finger around that just yet. Personally, when I see the lack of enthusiasm or excitement in my peers when I consult in them about a new project of mine, I am very much bothered to say the least. I start to think, if my own loved ones don’t support my upcoming business, how can I expect strangers to? I have even tried to implement some of my loved ones interests into my project, still no feedback, questions, or anything. I think having a support system is very important in this day and age, whether it is to get the word out that you have product launching. Or to keep you going when the competition gets tough. Even if it is nothing but negative feedback, it is still something to better you and get you ready for what is out there in the world of business. Recently, I spoke with my co worker regarding, what I would call this issue of mine, she suggested that I “just show them“, I sadly then realized that no one is even looking. It is just hard sometimes not having that extra push. Though my projects are still into play coming early 2020, I say this to put emphasis on those reading. If you know someone with a vision, it costs you nothing to ask questions if you don’t understand, show interest in what gave them that idea in the first place, maybe even give suggestions. You never know what type of motivation you just gave them! You also never know what someone else has said to demotivate them as well. I bet you would have never guessed that someone has told me they did not take me serious when I told them my business ideas, but they have! So along with launching my business I will have to rely on myself for self motivation along the way. But then again, I rather no support than fake support. So here I am giving thanks, for nothing and also thanks for everything.
