2023 will be, exactly what we need

2022 really showed out

Dope ass connections were made

And connections we thought were solid….. really showed itself 

Opportunities flowed like water

And plans we thought we had under control laughed in our faces

2022 got us together in the best way

Opened us up in the best way

Cheers to everything that fell off

Released itself

Cheers to everything that found us tho!

That’s the real peace

I’m taking with me…. Every connection I’ve made in love, and intentions, the growth, the way I chose me, the strength and courage it took to choose me. I’m taking the accountability - recognizing where I went wrong in certain situations and grateful for every lesson that came out of the trial and error. I’m taking the joy. The many times I’ve smiled and shared love - been in good company and exchanged amazing energy. I’m taking the peace, the way peace found me - the way solidarity and community showed up and showed out. The way God showed out. The protection and guidance that I know was only spoken through third eye. I’m taking the sincerity of my heart, the hearts who received my love - the hearts who so effortlessly gave me there’s. I’m taking the tears, the many times I’ve cried - the purification and cleansing only the release of tears can give.  I’m taking movement, the times I’ve danced, the times dancing felt like flying and my soul opened up.

I am taking with me all the amazing food i ate, the place I’ve visited, the times the sun kissed my skin and the rain caused me to surrender to its cleansing. Every bit of joy, every ounce of love, every moment of laughter, every hug in community…. Every journal entry and every poem.. I’m taking this with me. 

I am leaving behind all fear and self doubt, the moments where I convinced myself I wasn’t good enough for exactly what I knew was destined for me. Leaving behind guilt because forgiveness is more powerful than any feelings that will hold back joy. leaving behind all relationships, environments and situations that did not deserve me. The spaces where my energy was not appreciated nor reciprocated.  I leave it all behind. I leave behind less than what I am taking, because happiness and peace has always been priority.

May this new year be good to our hearts

Our minds

Our bodies

Our souls 

pour love into us 

and pour love into 

everything and everyone we love and hold close
