Q2 is starting, and you’re still in that garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To Summer, From Cole (Audio Hug) plays in my headphones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like that song, it reminds me of one of those oldie but goodie RnB tracks. One day we’re all going to look back… well, not me because I knew it was tea, but we’re all going to look back and realize how good that song was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April feels like a refresh; it feels fun. The weather is warming up, and more activities are arriving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want this month to feel intentional and also open my arms to culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disappearing into the atmosphere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I left, well disconnected from every scene I was a part of. In most avenues, God removed me. It felt like someone literally grabbed me by the hand and was like, “No, come here. Not there.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which felt good, needed, and intentional.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those dang 20-somethings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being 25 is almost a social experiment. I realized in one night that I would rather start the party early and leave early. In simpler terms, let’s do a day-party vibe. By 8 p.m., let’s head home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That realization is a game-changer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth in your 20s is beautiful, even when it comes to dating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, I don’t need the boyfriend with the crazy lore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago, I said I desired a cool husband. Gotta be more specific, I don’t desire just any type of…lover because you can truly find just any type of lover in this world. You can have anybody…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that doesn’t mean everyone deserves to know you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say no, or remove yourself from that. It’s power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s dangerous to love sometimes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading, you know that’s just the headline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love is beautiful, it’s soft, it’s free, and when you truly know, you know it’s God-ordained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very God-ordained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how can it be dangerous?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lust exists, too. The concept, “I like what I see, even when I don’t understand it.” Suppose you don’t understand it, hmmm. Maybe not.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s the biggest clue, the hesitation that feels like discernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
