A letter to Us

 

Sis,

Grow on your own. Stop waiting for a relationship and someone to grow with; although I know the idea of a power couple seems amazing. But first, you have to cultivate and grow YOU. Is it possible that you keep losing yourself in every relationship because you haven’t yet figured out who you are? Date yourself sis, and take yourself to dinner. Romance yourself; buy your own damn flowers, the lilies just because you loved the way they smell. Invest in your self care. Work on your goals. Secure your bag. Travel, or whatever you see fit.  Be true to what you like and don’t you dare apologize for what you don’t. Look at yourself in the mirror and point out the things you love. Fall in love with yourself. Fall hard. Fall in the ways you have fell for men that weren’t half as worth it. Because, I promise you are worth it, sis. Be the version of you that you are to others but this time to yourself. Be patient with yourself because you always give chances. Get to the place that you are so in love with yourself that you honor yourself. Become so grown that no one can offer you less than what you deserve. Let your relationships only add to the greatness you’ve grown into. You can’t afford to go into another situation half grown; you can’t lose yourself again.
