Freedom Friday: Confessions of Shay

I have been on both sides of spoken lies. I have been cheated on. I have doubted myself. I have struggled with loving myself the way that I should be treasured. I have felt like a failure at some point or another. I have let dreams go. I have left friends in the past. I have cursed, in fact, I still do.

I am human.
I am a woman.
I am a mother.
I am learning to be a wife. The truth is, vows are not easy to keep.

I say all of this to say that I am in no way perfect. I may miss connections online when I fail to leave all of my dirty laundry aired on my social media, but I am not afraid to be vulnerable.

In less than a month, I will be thirty. I may not be the wisest. I may not always listen to my advice; I can sit here and say that I am a novice at this thing called motherhood. Each day is a learning experience in all aspects of life. I may not have the Ph.D. at this very moment.

The time will come.

In the meantime, I choose to live an intentional life where the awkward girl with the long hair throws on her specs and speaks life into women and men when given a chance.

Ladies and gentlemen, please do not give up on yourself today as a result of your insecurities. Live your best life because you have air in those lungs for a reason. We are all living on borrowed time.

I freestyled this 'confession.' 

Next Friday my thoughts will be geared toward one topic versus a plethora of topics. I hope that you got the point. Do not stay 'in your bag.' Release it and replace it with positive thoughts.

I affirm that today everything that can go right in my/your life will.
Great clarity will come with persistent searching.
Lastly, I am a Queen/King; I will not let anyone treat me as anything less than royalty!

Peace be with you, 
Shay
