What’s Up Fear Fighters? I know what must be going through those heads… Looks like I’m back to my old tricks again, huh? Just know I take full accountability for disappearing. One day I plan to get it together, I really do so don’t give up on me just yet. Actually speaking of, shouts out to all of you. The numbers have still been moving even though I’ve been inactive for these past 3 months and I am beyond appreciative. 

Know what else I’m appreciative of? Low points. Is that crazy? Well I don’t care if it is because that’s just my truth. Low points have a way of making you sit back and retrace your steps. And by doing this we always learn a lesson. So before I start rambling too much, let’s discuss a lesson that I’ve relearned. 

Lately, I’ve been waiting for inspiration to hit me in my writing. I felt like I had to have it before I could get back on here. You know, I’ve waited my whole life for so many things. I’m “waiting” for the right friends to come along. I’m “waiting” for the right job. I’m “waiting” for the perfect partner. I’m “waiting” for the correct words. Always waiting. Not to say that waiting is a bad thing because that’s not always the case, but the truth is I’ve waited and I’m no farther along than I was those 3 months ago. So why didn’t I move? 

Call it me evolving I guess but guys I’m sick of waiting. I’ve mentioned having procrastination issues before. I’ve even labeled myself a pro but at this point I’m exhausted trying to keep up with the title. Because if you wait too long instead of moving like the line intends for you to do, life will continue to pass you by and I’m realizing that more and more. 

Y’all know I never make my point without telling a little story so here it goes. Maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago I went to Florida with my family. On the last day there, we went to an amusement park. Before I even entered the gates, I saw from the parking lot someone falling from a launch tower. I was like, “that looks fun, I’m gonna do that.” The ride taunted me for the majority of the time I was there. And finally it was time to face the music. My folks were talking about how they didn’t think I would go through with it. Frankly I didn’t even know myself. As I waited in line with my cousin, I made up so many excuses why it wasn’t a good idea. She brushed off the majority until it was our turn. Y’all I was honestly terrified. But I did it. 

And so that’s what I mean. Sometimes in life, things are put in your path for you to do. You say “I’m gonna do it” then you back out. While you wait you can make 100 excuses, and none of them matter because in the end you still have to do whatever it is. So we have to drown out the nonsense and just take action. So keep that in mind guys. Stay fearless, keep fighting.. until next time 💚
