Enjoy the coffee, wear the dress, the scarf is calling your name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does life always feel like we\u2019re seeking approval from others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does life always feel like we\u2019re guarding our tongue, our actions, because of society?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When in actuality, we\u2019re all unique and should embrace our individuality, our uniqueness, especially in a world that\u2019s truly black and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Get Into It <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am no longer playing it safe <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am wearing the dang dress, rocking my fro, and wearing the $10 pair of boots I sourced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, my mom. But still, I am wearing the dang boots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a season where I am doing what Chandra desires; no, I am not harming or taking away from someone else\u2019s life, I am doing me. No second-guessing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many people benefited from me being easy-going, too nice, and hiding my power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The answer is no, the answer is I am busy. Meaning some people need a break from me. They need to be away from me, not because they\u2019re bad people, but because I overplayed my time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I overstated my worth and overstayed my welcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to live without me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not to say we got beef, that I don\u2019t like you, or that there’s a problem. It means you need a break from me, and I need a break from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we\u2019re meant to be in each other\u2019s realm, I truly believe that God will bring us back to each other\u2014platonic friendships, not intimate relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, I truly desire no man from my past years. Take care. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why play it safe when you should do your thing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Too many people keep it cute for the sake of what others will think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You miss out on YOUR LIFE when you should show up. Show up in that bomb outfit that makes you feel chic, sexy, and fly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should dance around the house sometimes instead of going to a party. A living room world tour is always needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just be you, it\u2019s cheaper, a little harder, but it\u2019s cheaper. Trust me. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has more bang for your buck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
