If there’s one overall theme I could say that the first few months of twenty-seventeen taught me, it would be from the words of Dita Von Tess saying:

“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.”

It’s the theme of accepting the good, bad and ugly. And that’s all there is to it. I’ve learned that no matter how much you try to solve somebody they’ll still remain the same. No matter how bad you want to fix the situation. Fix the energy. Fix the vibes in the air. Just accept it. Accept what you can’t control and focus on what you can. You can’t expect different results doing the same thing. And so accepting change will only help you grow rather than feeling stagnant in the same toxic cycle you let yourself go through.

C H A N G E for growth = A C C E P T I N G the waves of life

Although I’ve recently had a conversation with one of my best friends on the topic of “how to fix a broken glass” i.e. relationship, friendship… but we’ll save that for another time.

I’ve come to a realization that instead of looking outside I need to look within. I need to look within myself because I need to remember that my happiness and how I am as a person isn’t based solely on other people’s opinion, judgement of me but is solely always based on me, myself and I. *cues in Beyoncé song*

So I learned to accept the good, bad and ugly. I learned to accept that there are vibes out there you won’t exactly vibe with. I’ve learned that there are energies out there you will never be on the same wavelength with.

I challenge you to live your best life for you. You could be the most ripest, juiciest peach out there and yes there will be someone, in fact plenty of people, who don’t like peaches. And you know what? That doesn’t mean you are anything less than that ripest, juiciest peach you are — if not more.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned… don’t stop being Y O U just because somebody else doesn’t vibe with your energy.
