    In self-care wins this week: I rested. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ At first I felt so guilty at the thought of taking a couple of mental health days to get myself together. But I was growing very anxious lately - and having panic attacks. The excessive sweating, hard to breathe, uncontrollable teeth chattering, heart pounding kind of anxiety. I was also complaining way too much, and getting annoyed way too easily. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ One of those mental health days consisted of an unplanned 4-mile hike that led to this bamboo forest. And although it was a bit challenging hiking through all those mud puddles and fallen trees, I was happy to do an activity that brings me peace and joy. Nature is God's playground. I am feeling much better now. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Moral of the story is: take your self-care day(s). Normalize taking time off when you need it. If Jesus rested, so can you. Ain't nobody else gon' prioritize my mental health but me. And that's on periodt!!! 🤎
    Year 28. 🎈⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ My birthday Year 28. 🎈⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ My birthday weekend photo dump. Birthdays have always been weird for me. I've never been the type to make a huge deal out of turning a year older. It's something I'll continue to unpack in therapy. God has done an amazing job reminding me that my life is worthwhile, that I am seen, and that I am deserving of good things. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ When I say that I am overcome with joy and gratitude, I truly mean that. I could burst in tears - My heart is so full. I'm thankful for the people who made my birthday special this past weekend. And I thank God for His faithfulness. 🤎
    This week, I asked "what is one nice thing that yo This week, I asked "what is one nice thing that you can do for yourself?" It has been over a year since getting my nails done. So I booked an appointment today. There's nothing like indulging in self-care. What did you do for self-care this week? 🥰✨ Thanks, @sugarcoatmidtown!
    Well....I've been MIA here because I am finally MO Well....I've been MIA here because I am finally MOVING! Into my very first apartment! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Throughout my 20s, I have never lived on my own. Over the last two years, I was painfully realizing that I was outgrowing my parent's home. It was painful because change is uncomfortable. Painful because navigating fears takes a lot of hard and heart work. And also painful because obedience is not easy. But I am learning that there is something good to be found on the other side of obedience. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ God made it very clear to me that it was time I have my own space. A space to worship, to create, to heal, and to truly thrive. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ A few days ago, I went shopping for kitchen supplies and stumbled upon a beautiful mug that confirmed what the Lord revealed to me. "He has made Everything beautiful in its time." Of all the verses. Like wow, God. I. GET. IT. Why you gotta be so loud??!! 👀🤣 Trust His perfect timing and His plans for you. When God tells you to move, you move.
    Taiwo, where you been?! 👀 Honestly, getting my Taiwo, where you been?! 👀 Honestly, getting my heart right with the Lord. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ One: There is nothing quite like having God as my hiding place. It's where I've been spending my time. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Two: I recently made the investment to begin therapy. I was so afraid to start. Praise God for the assurance of the Holy Spirit.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Three: I re-vamped my entire wardrobe. Building my personal style has literally been a transformative experience for me, inside and out. I held trauma in my old wardrobe. Who would have thought that letting that go could bring freedom? ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Four. I am finding rest. I tend to do the most. Lol. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Love y'all. Cheers to 2021! 🤍
    One of my best friends told me that when we are in One of my best friends told me that when we are in a season of opposition, we must remember to finish the season strong. This year has been difficult in many ways, but overall, I'm doing my best to stay the course. The enemy will do anything to throw me off of my game, but I'm so glad to have Jesus on my team. With that being said, I am praying for December to end on a strong note. 🤎⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ P.S. I've had adult braces for a whole week now, and although I'm still adjusting, I absolutely love them 😄 I'm going to miss my gap, but I look forward to having the smile I've always wanted!
