Just When You Thought You knew Me šæ
Hey family,
This year, has been a year of overcoming. Still finding joy in creating art š¤²š¾ -- to my weight fluctuating from heartbreak. Baby, I really had to be more firmer with my boundaries. Not to mention, my people already feel I have too many boundaries. Letting folks know, I cannot be there for you in this season. I have to be there for myself, because I am dealing with some intensive pain right now. Heartbreak is a different type of pain. And, I strive to be well, so I have to do my healing work correctly. I'm a strong believer in 'my pain' should not be inflicted onto others. Human beings need to deal with their pain, because 'good people' don't deserve others pain. And, some folks who are inflicting pain got the nerve to ask 'good people' for multiple chances to get it together when your grown ass should only be told once to 'get your shit together' and make the necessary changes from there. Why I gotta give you 100 chances for you to 'get your shit together'. And, it's a big possibility still the person doesn't get it together. If you are 30 and older 'get your shit together', because if you don't 'your kids gotta deal with your shit'. I have broken hearts before, but not intentionally. I just had to let 'the lover' know, this is not where I am supposed to be. It's that simple. But, I will say, when you are 'in love' you will let things go unsaid, longer than you should, the deadline to address the issue has passed, and still you let things go unsaid. What heartbreak has taught me is, "state the issues sooner than later" and heal from the heartbreak, because your next lover doesn't deserve any of the pain from the previous partner. Remember, the 'new lover' did not cause the pain, so don't bring it to there doorstep. This heartbreak caused me to become a part-time worker in my community -- y'all I could not show up for my community full-time. If I am not well, how can I be the best person for change within my community. My goal is to change the community for the better, not provide temporary fixes.
Yes, I was still able to be creative in all ways š§š¾āšØ, just a little slower and more independently. As you all know, ALL OF MY ART IS FROM THE HEART. I am an authentic artist. A slow burner when it comes to my creative work, but 'this heartbreak' made me even slower. Because, there were too many tears, too many slow days, and days I could not function. Healing, Processing, and Being Great 'all at once' is something that needs to be navigated carefully. I overcame it, because my mother raised a warrior š„·š¾. Also, she taught me to be a lady -- Always. Because, I could have fuck some shit up. I will say, sitting and processing your pain, allows you to realize it's not worth your time or energy to be foolish. Some of you may know, I have been going through the process of creating art visuals this year -- art masterpieces from the 'voice of self'. This process has showed me how talented I really am, and I need to be choosy with my team, my lover, and my inner circle. I won't release these creative visuals until 2027, because I'm still a little tender. Baby, I need to be able to articulate the importance of healing, the meaning of these masterpieces, and the life changing experiences of these creative masterpieces. These creative works will allow healing for self and the community.
Heartbreak is something that can be shattering to the human being. And, if your parents didn't prepare you for the ride, it might be difficult for the human being to survive it. I would suggest the human being learn how to sit with themselves and know themselves early in life. This will help the human being get through painful life moments faster. Recovering from heartbreak is nothing you can move through easily, it will take time for the body and mind to heal š§š¾āāļø. But, you 'the human being' rather heal from the pain, instead of living within this world with a cold heart. And remember, you 'the individual' still deserves to be love correctly, even if someone broke your heart ā¤ļøāš©¹. Don't let anyone stop your chances to receive 'true love'. Again, please heal after heartbreak. Because, people don't deserve to be inflicted by pain. Deal with your shit, before bringing chaos or drama to other people's doorsteps.
