i woke up yelling SMD three weeks ago as some major plans started to unravel around me.
it was a mess to maneuver, hard work wasted, and tremendous mental turmoil but it was also a matter of perspective. i know that there isn’t anything worse than what i’ve already been through. i’ve pushed through so much, gotten back up over and over through the steepest of falls and i know that i didn’t come this far to only come this far so there are no setbacks only lessons.
all that’s left is to continue forward n trust that the universe has a plan for me.
in the name of bread, ive been working every day and channeling ALL my free time toward the hustle (if im not working, im sleeping/snaccing/shitting.) at the beginning of this year, i set all my goals out as one does and i alrdy knew at that time that it was goin to be the hardest year i would ever have to work in my life. i was prepared for a year of struggle and though im proud to announce that we’ve basically hit every single goal so far, i must also report that the pain has arrived on schedule.
as i work 40 extra hours this month in between studying for an exam in 3 wks, classes, gyming, cooking, n ofc social interactions w other humans, the only thing im thinking about is the result to come. big things are on the way so plz pray 4 me as we continue down the road we was continuing down.
i do be changing up the scenery to keep my mind fresh n enjoying my ikea candles so dont worry about me, let’s enjoy some 10 seconds of happiness that i managed to capture in between the pain. (90 pics x 10secs ea. = 15 minutes of happiness this month? not bad)
