✨28✨ Thinking back over the last year, the biggest thing that comes up for me is GRATITUDE. • It’s so easy to complain (and believe me I love to complain 😭), especially with a year like 2020, but I am learning that shifting into gratitude for who/where you are is everything. • Instead of only focusing on what you can’t do or what you don’t have, show gratitude for what you have and what you can do NOW. • Instead of dwelling over people who’ve left or don’t respect you, show gratitude and love for those who constantly show up and support you. • Celebrate your victories, but also show love and gratitude for your losses or the times you’ve fallen short. Failure is human! It’s all a part of the master plan somehow. • I started a daily gratitude journal practice towards the end of last year, and today I will share 4 things here: 1. I am grateful for my life and existence 2. I am grateful for my parents; I literally wouldn’t be here without them. Especially my mama (she did the real labor 28 years ago!) 3. Grateful for all of you who reached out to wish me Happy Birthday! It reminds me of all the love I have in my life, and that’s all a girl could ask for. 4. I am grateful to be Black! Not just in February but everyday of the year. • For my birthday, let me know what you’re grateful for! I will read them all and probably cry about them later 😭. I love and appreciate you all. 🥰 📸: @eightheist
