Sis, you are not milk….

Sis, please don’t ever forget, you are not milk. There isn’t an expiration date stamped on your side. There is far too much pressure being placed on you because of all the imaginary timelines. Timelines designed by others; for your life. But quite frankly, screw those timelines and even the guidelines. No one knows YOU better than YOU.  So, you didn’t meet a goal when you and everyone thought you would.  It doesn’t mean it is over. That goal hasn’t expired. I promise that it means it just wasn’t time yet. You set the pace for your life and growth.

And sis, in your growth, I hope you learn, you are wine. You’ve felt some of the same pressure grapes feel in their process. You’ve had time to age and mature and with that you’ve become wise. YOU have become confident in knowing what you want because you’ve spent time going after what you truly didn’t. You smirk at the idea of guidelines, because you’ve learned how necessary it can be to color outside the lines. You aren’t limited by imaginary timelines because you understand the importance of becoming exactly who you need to be in your time. No matter how long it takes.

Sis, you are not MILK; you are WINE!

As always, thanks for reading!
