we all have our reasons for doing what we do when we do it.
whatever excuse we use to justify doing what we do —
going through financial struggles,
we don’t have a “choice”,
the perfect opportunity presents itself —
one thing remains true:
in all moments, we do what we feel is best.
you may have a checkered past + still do some dope shit.
likewise, you may have a squeaky clean past + still do some foul shit.
in the grand scheme of things, none of that shit matters.
however much we disapprove of what’s been done or want to worry ourselves about where it may take us, we can only do what we can do right now + nothing more.
the focus is now, sis.
how can you use what you’ve learned to help you build the life you desire to live?
you’ve been hard enough on yourself about a lot of shit… leave your ass alone about what’s been done!
allow yourself to live in forgiveness without coming for your own damn throat all the time!
listen: you’ve had your reasons for doing what you did then + you have your reasons for doing what you’re doing now.
continue choosing to live your dopest life on your own terms, committing to your learning, your growth, + your progression, + the rest will fall into place.
be you, be dope!
