After the Rain

You are in control of how you show up in the world.

Live as though life was created for you.”

I will continue to expand from the
things that threaten to dismantle
my peace of mind.

I am doing my best to make space
for acceptance and understanding,
even when I am rejected.

I am stronger than ever, and I feel confident in my ability to persevere and find resilience in trying times.

Change won’t always feel good,
but it’s a powerful teacher.

It teaches us to be resilient
and make room for abundance,
and it shows us how dedication
can help us grow in love and life.

I am a work in progress, and
I will continue to unravel
and make space for ease as
I learn my way and walk my path.

I am beautiful. I am black. I am smart. I am funny and kind. I am honest. I am magical. I am nice and vibrant. I am confident. I am inspiring. I am helpful and graceful. I am unbreakable and proud to be brown.”

All that I am
inspires all that
I will be.

I am willing to release my expectations
on healing and what it’s supposed to
look like so that I can make room for
more self-compassion, self-healing,
and self-love.

I am deserving of my time,
company, and energy.

I am capable of leaning into my resilience.

There will be people who can’t see it,
but I will bloom to become despite who
stops to appreciate my growth
