Respeckt.
Being disrespected is not fun. Nor is it cool. I demand my respect and will be treated as such. I know my worth. I know my value. I’m priceless. Imagine working so hard to come to a place where you feel that you finally have a sense of some self-worth and somebody decides to try and devalue that? Imagine that. I am the prize. I am the crown jewel. I am enough. I am worthy. I demand my respect. You know, I kinda feel Bryan Birdman Williams on his stance with feeling disrespected By the breakfast. How could you not? If I were to try and put some kind of monetary value on my worth, I would say that it’s about worth 2 trash bags worth of clothes and a whole lot of healing to do and heartache to bare. I demand my respect. Not from you. But from myself. I was always taught to point the finger at yourself at all times and always expand your hand, first.
When you’re of high value, They don’t put you on just any old shelf. They make a special area for you and put you behind a glass case or a roped off area. The yeezy’s are never next to the converses. treat yourself like you’re rare. treat yourself like there would be catastrophic levels of some kind if this thing is damaged in any way. The Mona Lisa at the L’ouvre. Put some respect on your name. Know your value. Know your worth. Don’t take shit from anybody. Trust in God. Believe in yourself. The devil is a liar. And that’s all I have to say about that. Much Love, always. ❤️ -Jermy
What’s really good…
How y’all feeling today? I think I’m in a good groove now with this whole quarantine, “new normal” thing. It’s definitely a crazy time but God is good anyhow, you know? I’ve been working on my side hustles and they’ve been doing great. I truly am thankful for an opportunity to still create and make a living for myself and my family. It’s more than enough and I’m grateful for that. Business are going out of business all over the country and it’s looking like it’s not letting up any time soon. It’s important to be thankful for what you do have and enjoy the time that you are spending with your loved ones at this time. I feel good today and I hope you feel the same. Remember to keep a positive attitude at all times, even when things look a little bleak. Put a premium on prayer and love is the key, always. Much Love ❤️ -Jermy
You know what I’m sayin?
Don’t put your trust in man. Man is going to let you down every time. The moment you stop looking for things in other people to complete you, is the moment you will become truly free. You see, the thing about me is that I do not look to others, that which I can find in myself. I used to be at a point where I would find myself displaying needy behavior because I was Looking for love in all the wrong places. The true love I had to find was a true love for myself. If my cup is not full, how could I pour into anybody else? Who could I bless if I don’t love myself. In the scriptures it says that for Hod so loved the WORLD that he gave the only thing he had one of: His son, Jesus. But what it doesn’t mention is the amount of love that has to be filled inside of God, that he has blessed us with the very planet we were put in? How could we not be so filled with love? How could you possibly love someone before you can first learn to love yourself?
I oftentimes think about all of the moments where I could have made better decisions if I had more love for myself. It’s not a regretful thought or feeling, but it’s more of a refresher that I cannot give to people, more than what I think of or give of myself. I encourage you to make the decision to love yourself a little more today. Be kind to yourself. Don’t let others hold your happiness hostage. Don’t depend on someone else to make you feel like you have some self-worth. Always believe in yourself and watch how things start to change in your life.
Bet on yourself. Trust and believe in the gifts that you have and your abilities to create a life of abundant happiness for yourself. Much Love ❤️ -Jermy
