03 Mar Finally Free
I am learning to accept everything about myself and have gotten to the point in my life where I have outgrown many things.
I have outgrown my need to meet other people’s unrealistic expectations of me.
I have outgrown weak-willed, insecure men who are intimidated by my outspoken nature and loving heart.
I have outgrown friends who refuse to celebrate my accomplishments but are quick to offer criticism laced with jealousy.
I have outgrown folks who disappear when the journey gets dark and tedious.
I have outgrown society’s standard of beauty when it comes to the melanin of my skin, the curve of my hips, the roundness of my stomach and thickness of my lips.
I have outgrown finding reasons not to love my fabulous self.
I have outgrown women with trivial tendencies and manipulative tactics.
I have outgrown the inability to embrace the life I have lived and learning from the mistakes I have made.
I have outgrown the lies of the enemy telling me that I am not worthy enough while filling my mind with self doubt and insecurity.
I have outgrown the game of emotional sabotage, meaningless conversations and negativity.
I have outgrown sadness, self-pity, self-righteousness, ungratefulness, depression, financial lack, laziness, procrastination and lack of success.
I have outgrown any situation, circumstance and individual that does not improve the essence of my existence.
I have outgrown many things and because of that, I am finally free.
What have you outgrown?
From my heart to yours,

Posted at 19:18h, 03 MarchI have outgrown the feeling that I need weave to feel beautiful or a relaxer to feel secure with myself. I have also outgrown being afraid to speak my mind.
