Pour the Champagne

Pour the Champagne

Life can be hard. Life can be unfair at times but you survived. Forget survivors guilt. We are here at this very moment for a reason. Celebrate. You finally work the courage to go back to school? Celebrate. You are finally free from the exhaustion of your job? Celebrate. No matter how little you think the accomplishment is. Celebrate. Look around you. The world is madness but your world don’t have to be. There’s more to it than social media. Breathe. Smile. Fulfill your destiny.

Lately I have been so happy *knocks on wood*. Realizing you are in the driver seat is realizing your power. I am so excited for my journey. Knowing that my trials & tribulations does not define me. I”m not going to lie to you. I almost let the struggle hardened my heart. Turn it cold like a Canadian winter. I meditated. Kept one eye open. Waited for my opportunity. Took it.

Rolled my joint. Smoke with papers only. Its the “playa” way. Popped a bottle of bubbly. She looks over and say “baby its just Wednesday”. I responded, “We here. Alive. We defeated our demons. Pour the damn champagne”

Peace and Love
