Write it down. Whatever is troubling, hunting, and unreleased your peace of mind, write it down with your emotions tied to it. Don’t suppress how you feel about whatever it may be, and it can be several things. If you want to release, you must let it go onto paper without hesitation. Feel the fire of it all and grab a lighter and set it ablaze. You will feel so much lighter. 

I would have never thought I have taken the time to think about how life would be different if I wasn't the oldest child of my mother's three children. If you are the oldest of your siblings, then you can possibly relate the amount of stress, comparison, or even envy there can be when you are the oldest one.

I ghosted a few of my so-called best friends on purpose. I have no regrets. In fact, it made me a better friend. I realized that I no longer had much to anything in common with my friends at the time.

If someone’s absence brings you peace of mind, you did not lose anything. In fact, you have gained so much peace, clarity, and strength. 

Has it been difficult for you to keep your focus on God lately? Creating excuses as to why you do not have a close relationship with God does not pull you closer to Him.

Some days I am filling myself with His word and others I’m straying away mentally with distractions.

Have you ever heard of audio journaling? I sure did back in September of 2016. I was in search of another way to vent than using pen and paper and just talking to someone. I wanted to keep a record of how I truly was experiencing my deepest emotions. As a writer, I can protest to sometimes not being able to write out how I may feel.

It sure did not take a rocket scientist to see that last year was preparing me for something so much greater. Within my personal life, I took hella L's at my job as bank teller.

There is a serious problem that you need solving at the moment. In your heart you want things to work, but you know that talking to a man that already has a woman!
