A message to myself:

DO YOU! Love yourself and realize that REGARDLESS of who is watching or not watching, someone will ALWAYS have something to say about you! Be yourself and NEVER let anyone tell you to be otherwise.

Scar 5/17/17

So I begin to fill up with all of this pain, this sorrow and these emotions waiting to release. With one strike, I begin to deflate. Another strike and I'm almost there. One more strike for good measure. Strike after strike after strike until all of my pain, my sorrow, and my emotions wither away. They withered away right? Temporarily.

It's only after these strikes that I realize that there is much more pain to come. Why did I do this to myself? I have to hide. No one can ever know--until you can't hide it anymore.

I'm ashamed now further damaging this inner being. Inside, I regret. I hide again.

Fast forward to healing...

Each strike produced a beautiful line reminiscent of city skylines and stratus clouds that fill the sky. No more am I ashamed of these lines because they tell a story. A story of hurt and pain, but as you can see, there is no more blood. My lines have healed and I survived. Though I am left with such beautiful skylines and stratus clouds, I am reminded of dark shadows that each produces, but it's what makes me who I am. I look back at these healing scars only to move forward in strength. Moving forward to a better me.

I love my scars.

Finished on 7/7/18

Disclaimer: This started off as the first stanza and maybe me going into some sort of rap. Well, months passed and on 7/7/18, I finished it. Totally not what I was expecting from this, but you just have to be moved—sometimes not in the direction you expect.

There's another little lesson that I'm gone teach you

See the way you make me feel sometimes got me out really feeling you

But you're moving way to fast and that ain't what God wants me to do

So please respect my decision or I'm gone, I'm leaving you.

It's not that I don't like you I just gotta respect me.

Guard my heart until the manifestation of my destiny.

Losing myself will not be a commonality

So let’s take it slow and enjoy the view, God’s masterpiece

Day after day it’s a struggle to even open my eyes

The weight of this world on my shoulders filling me all up with lies

Can’t take this pain or else I’m done no ghost just maggots and flies.

God hear me now no words no more all I can do Lord is cry

Lord, all I can do now is cry

Lord, all I can do now is cry

Your strength is what I need to get through each day

I’m the weakest link in the chain so God I pray

That you take me and make me into what it is you want me to be

What it is that you want me to be is what I need to set me free

“Free indeed. In Christ I’m free indeed. No chains holding me. It’s who I choose to be.”

God free me from the chains that bind me to the walls that separate me from you and your purpose for my life. It’s not about me. It’s about you and I surrender all of me for all of you. I love you Lord.

Sunday Reflection

I apologize for the long post. I needed to speak to myself, and thought that this could help someone else too. I hope it helps you. So, in my usual time to myself, I started to do some thinking and reflection, and the word that kept coming to my mind was "FEAR." One thing that I can surely attest to is the fact that I fear a lot of times about almost everything in my life. I am in no way saying that this is a good thing but it just so happens to do so. The fear of going the next mile; the fear of talking to someone to tell them how I feel; the fear of acceptance; the fear rejection etc. etc. etc. Fear is toxic and ultimately hinders you from so many great things. But guess who's fear's right hand? OVERTHINKING. Have you ever tried to map out your life--down to the most unnecessary details--just to end up thinking about all of the things that could go wrong? Overthinking causes us to try to control situations that we literally have no control over. As a result, we fear moving to the next level of what is to be greatness. So what do I do to change that? It's amazing how a lot of our answers are in the Bible and we don't realize them until we start to really embrace our walk with God. When we start to overthink, we have Philippians 4:6-7, in which we are instructed to not fear and be anxious. Instead, pray and talk to God. This talk to God will lead to his peace guarding our hearts and minds through Christ. So, what does that even mean? Talk out these anxieties with God! God knows every desire of our heart and we tend to act like God has no idea of what we're going through, which is far from true. "In everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.." A genuine heart who talks to God can help in that first step of eliminating the overthinking. What about the fear, Morgan? When I was younger, it seemed as if everyone wanted me to learn Psalms 23. I never understood it until just recently. Yes, Psalms 23 is one of those "we all know those verses of the Bible." But do we really know the impact? Psalms 23 is literally an entire chapter dedicated to showing us that we are never alone and that God is right there with us. I like to think of verse 4 as a troubling storm of everything that tries to harm me, but in the midst of this storm, God is right there with me guiding me and keeping me protected because "thy rod and thy staff comfort me." Jump to verse 6 which gives me even more assurance because God's goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. Isn't that amazing? I mean I fail God every single day, and despite failing Him, God picks up my fears and anxieties and let's me know that everything will be just fine. Now that does not mean storms, trials, and assignments of the enemy will not come your way. Instead, when they come your way, God covers and protects you in the storm; defends and represents you in the trial; and blocks and sends back every assignment of the enemy to harm you. Have a great day y'all! I hope this helps. I love you 💜😘

People, especially celebrities, have such large platforms that their voices could really evoke some change. Look at what Beyonce was able to do just by writing a statement! Yet, some are so superficial that they take the hush money and perpetuate the systematic racism instead of using it to speak out even more. What wasted opportunities! #WakeUpPeople

Sexism in Hollywood is under official government investigation

Since 1998, the number of female directors in Hollywood has dropped 2% to just 7%. But now, behind the scenes, change may be coming. A government investigation into civil rights abuses against women in the entertainment industry is underway that could have major implications for film and television.

Live

Dreams. I have them, but for one moment, one uninterrupted moment, can I have my dreams? Can I speak them into existence? Can I swim in their waters? Just the thought of my dreams gets me excited, but I have to put them aside. You won’t let me dream. You won’t let the energetic young woman inside of me leap at the thought that I have dreams. You see, I am a rare breed. I am a rare breed of young black girls who aren’t supposed to make it, you see? So, please, let me dream. Let me live in these moments. Let me be because these dreams, these thoughts of mine, may be the only thing that I ever have.
