“I seen nights full of pain, days are the same.”

Money could never pay me for the amount of times I choose to be kind, when I experience what seems to be a never ending river of problems without solutions and people wanting to tear apart what attracted them to me in the first place. I’m only a problem when I refuse disrespect and choose myself.

To be a woman in today’s society.. be proud of yourself, but don’t show it too much. The more you do, the more you’ll be labeled a narcissist. Speak up, but don’t be honest. No one will believe you anyways. Be kind to yourself and others, but also know many will not view your actions that way. Insecure women will be friendlier to those who are also insecure, as it’s easier to be around people that are like you, rather than those who challenge you to view the world from a different perspective.

To be a confident woman in today’s society is to handle disrespect calmly from all genders, cry while you have a few moments to breathe and try and go to bed with a smile because otherwise you’ll be seen as depressed, or needing care and support from others (strange right)
try not projecting feelings onto people who won’t hear you, or care, and still do the best you can to show up for yourself and those that have your back in rooms you’re not in.

If it takes me being broke, in tears-while having puffy eyes to maintain my soul and integrity.. I’ll choose myself over and over. I have me forever
