3 days, and I couldn’t hold one of my “resolutions.” Exactly why I didn’t make one in the first place 😂

But I’ve honestly been feeling a little under the weather lately, so I’ve been trying to rest as much as possible. I’ve got big things coming up that need me at full energy! 😎

So, before I sleep, I’ll share my first poem of 2024: “A Promise to Myself.”

To be okay with waiting and resting; these things should not

Waiver my belief in how God will work.

I promise to be myself in a world that is begging me to sell my soul.

It won’t pay close to the cost of what I’m worth.

I promise that, when hard times come,

I won’t hesitate to cry, to express my feelings, but I won’t

Stay down for long.

For weeping lasts for a night, but

Joy comes in the morning, I have

Every reason to smile.

I promise not to get sucked into this social media trap again.

Because I’d rather love who I am when I log off than

Only love myself when I fit into the trends, and when

The number of likes determines how high my self esteem is.

I promise to not MANifest, but to PRAY.

Because doing things my way caught me in a web of pride that

Never seemed to suffice me.

I go to God with everything in faith, and allow Him to

Pleasantly surprise me.

And finally: while I’m not as open as I used to be, I’ll never

Waiver in my honesty.

I promise this to me.“

What’s something you’ve promised to yourself?
