A few months to turning 18 up until 2024, I used to be heavily sad. Never suicidal, just⦠carrying a lot internally, trying to understand the world and my place in it.
Then somewhere in 2024, something shifted.
I realized happiness isnāt some destination you arrive at. And I realized how much God had always been there, quietly helping me carry burdens even when I thought I was alone in them.
That realization gave me more faith, more trust, and a lot less fear.
I then discovered the power of gratitude, and honestly, it changed my life more than I expected. These are some of the practices it birthed:
Count the positives.
Ignore the shit thatās out of your control.
Do your best with what is in your control.
Never accommodate regret, because whatās gone is gone. Just focus on the way forward from where you are.
Remember you get what you attract, so we just have to tune in to the happiness frequency and find something to smile about at all times even right after you just cried lol.š
Me, Iām grateful for both the big and small things.
Grateful for legs that can run and feel the evening breeze while Iām fighting for my life š
Grateful for facial hair finally deciding to clock in š (there was a time I thought Iād never grow beards fr)
Grateful to still have both my parents alive and well.
Grateful for the dreams God planted in me.
Grateful for a million other things I canāt even begin to list here, and grateful for the many testimonies still on the way. Yāall will celebrate some of them with me soon.
God and the universe love a grateful heart.ā¤ļø
Anyways⦠yup. Bye.
I didnāt know you were watching:
Some days, it feels like youāre just posting into the void.
No noise. No feedback. Just effort.
Then something like this comes back to youā¦
and you realize it meant more than you thought.
A full circle moment.
When the motivated becomes the motivator.
Basically last year the goal was to get comfortable with showing up and removing shame from the equation lol. Now that thatās out of the way, I want to bring ideas to life using whatever medium it requires; be it through designs, videos, pictures etc. Just me exploring what I can do and sharing them at the same time type shii, love yāall š
