SELAH.

The other day I was asked to pick a word, one word, to describe my year. I took the question very seriously, as I do most questions I am asked. As I stood there and thought real hard, I got lost within my own mind. I was deadass probably staring into the abyss for at least one full minute thinking about the question. Something I have no shame in is taking my time to answer a question to my liking, and more importantly to my TRUTH, as opposed to answering quickly just for the sake getting an answer out there. When I returned back from the moon, I finally had my word secured. The word was reflective. Even the way in which I paused and took my time to answer the question carefully was aligned with my word choice. Damn, I just realized that as I am writing this. Crazy. I had to feel the word before I could come up with the word. 2024 has been the most enlightening year for me. I have had countless moments of self-discovery that have led me to the greatest, wisest version of myself. I have embraced learning all parts of me. I have Relinquished control and stepped into the unknown territory. I have fought the toughest fights behind closed doors, alone and on my own. I have Reflected on my mistakes and any encounters that didn't sit right with me. I have pushed myself to the very edge and forced myself to free fall. I have Released the past and moved forward with radical acceptance. I have continued to forge my path while staying true to my purpose, regardless of what external forces try to do. I have witnessed a Rebirth of my spirit into a new and improved version of myself with a new outlook on life. Relinquish. Reflect. Release. Rebirth. If you ain't doing any of that, you ain't doing nothing.
