getting ripped

[some days i feel like a little girl]
actually i haven't been to the gym in a long time...it's on my to do list. but i have been getting stronger. and it is my prayer that my strength comes from God and not walls that i place around myself. i don't want walls.
i want to be content with who i am, and i want to find that contentment on my own. i can honestly say im really looking forward to these next months in my life. i don't know what this season of my life will bring, but i know that good things are coming my way.
people kept telling me over and over that i am strong. i didn't know if i believed them or not, and i knew that i definitely didn't feel strong. but im learning that true strength comes when we admit we are weak.
hope is a very powerful thing. remember to hope...and i promise there is always something to hope for.

i like to make lists. i dont know why but i just do. if you need a list for anything, let me know and i will make you a fantastic list. what to pack for a certain trip, reasons why you should or shouldn't do something, a to do list, shopping list, list of random things list. well today here is my incomplete list of things that make me happy.

walking on warm windy nights
a new package of crayons
sweaters...i have a slight obsession
old people holding hands
sunny days
seeing people busting out by themselves in their car (i'm not alone)
waving back at someone then realizing they were waving to the person behind you
when you're walking past someone and you both go to pass each other on the same side, and then you both step to the other side at the same time...and it continues awkwardly
awkward moments in general
when Black moms get angry out of love for their children...it's a beautiful thing
