Those who know me know On exactly January 25th - my birthday sadness looks over me. I spend a full month focusing on where I “should” be in life and what I don’t have. This year we’re going to start with long, sentimental caption. Stick with me. A few weeks ago @millanasnow guided a beautiful breathwork session with @nichelle and I (me decompressing with Haribos after in slide 1) and I just...like, Millana, do you have a church? I will join. My only assets are in the form of designer skirts and I’m okay with letting a few go. She paid special attention to the type of healing us Black girls NEED and I’m forever grateful. At one point I found myself on the softball field I grew up playing on for 10 years, and faced myself at around age 9 or 10. My memory tends to black out those years (for a myriad of reasons), but it was the first time seeing her in decades. I took her (well me), by the hand, and showed her all of the our accomplishments over the years. The career, the friends, the travel, the adorable apartments, MOMO and the experiences you couldn’t even write. She was so amazed that this world expanded beyond her 9 year old vision. It was the first time I was able to reflect and see how far I’ve come, through the eyes of 10 year old Jessica. This year...was a year. My family grew closer, friendships became family (hi I’m @theonlyharvey ’s life insurance beneficiary). The highs were fireworks and the lows were excruciatingly low, I took care of others and I finally let others take care of me. It’s giving growth and Healing 🍃And let’s be 💯- This Tiktok / Instagram crossover episode has been amazing. I so enjoy seeing your replies, shares and knowing I’m not alone!! Thanks for letting me take this time to publicly pat myself on the back and I encourage you all to do the same (and enroll in therapy). Shit feels bomb. For once in my life I finally feel like I’m gonna be okay and I promise myself to always stay curious, trust my intuition, be kind to myself and reach for the stars. I know that little girl in slide 2 will forever be proud of us. Anyways..Pisces gang!!!! 🐠
