i was feeling a little sad & a little lost so I opened a journal of mine from 4 years ago. forced myself to remember where I started from actually - mentally it’s so clear how far i’ve come that it almost brought me to tears
biggest mistakes you can make:
a) thinking you know someone by their social media
b) under estimating someone by how you perceived them the 1st time you met
my social media wouldn’t tell this story but i’ve been so mentally drained lately & it’s been really hard
just a reminder to myself & others who might also be going thru it that collectively depression is a very normal part of life
& that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes

reason i journal & encourage others to do the same is solely so you can witness your own journey through your lens. it’s peaceful knowing that extreme ownership in your life can change so many things
no one knows what they’re doing
even people who seem like they do - don’t
everyone’s winging it so don’t let them or social media fool you, keep going chief

welcome to america: where there are billions of better things to do in this broken economy & cops are kicking out homeless people from a park in the middle of a pandemic
going all the way back to childhood - every single person that showed me kindness in moments of pain stayed in my heart - cheesy, but important to remember when choosing the way you treat others & how impactful every choice truly is
be kind, i promise it makes a difference
this is what 1.7 M in Pleasanton, CA can get you
one day i’ll do a thread on how we finessed this bad boy in one of the hottest markets in the Bay, ARV, & the logistics behind it but only ~after~ we close escrow 🤝
this is your reminder to put lots of love into your space. Your environment can directly affect your mood, what you put in is what you get out and it’s soooo worth it

i had a meeting with taan & my cousin calls me & she goes what’s up & I say I’m omw to a meeting with taan & she goes wow I wish I could have meetings with my best friend & I thought wow what a beautiful life I have been given
i used to get defensive when someone would tell me i’m intense but I realized that a part of who i am is to give life everything i’ve got & i’m never gonna compromise that to make someone else feel comfortable about MY journey
hope everyone has a mf phenomenal weekend goodday
