you are wise beyond your years

you ever met a wise person + wondered to yourself,

“how did they get to be so wise?”

for some, it’s years of lived experience that gives them the ability to impart wisdom.

they’ve seen it all, been through it all, + know it all because they’ve lived it all.

but we all know one youngin’ that has you thinkin’, 

“wow — this person is wise beyond their years!” 

or, as my people like to say, 

“they’ve definitely been here before!”

what makes them so wise, you ask?

they are attuned with their innate self.

though it seems like a superpower only certain folks possess, you, too, are wise beyond your years.

within you are years of ancestral wisdom pulsing through your veins.

your DNA carries not only your genes, but it holds the markings of your ancestors — 

their thoughts, their hopes, their dreams , their routines, their adaptations, their will to survive —

that all lives in you, too.

today, tap into your innate wisdom.

you know what to do, what to let go of, + what to hold in high regards.

your discerning spirit didn’t rouse by accident, nor did that nagging feeling in your gut simply appear by happenstance.

trust yourself + know that all that you’re doing now is only adding to the wisdom you already possess.

you know + quite frankly, you’ve been known, fam.

it’s time to remind yourself who you are + act accordingly.

be you, be dope!
