I’m sitting here thinking I should’ve bought tickets to Wireless Festival. Then on the other hand, I feel like I should be chilling with the mandem, smoking shisha and talking shit.
But truth is I’m just here, happy, chilling in my back garden, watching my daughters play and argue. And yes they argue. Especially the twins.
I’m grateful for life every single day, especially coming from the environment I’m from. The past couple years I’ve lost a lot of people from friends to family. Some I’ve distanced myself from because of bad energy. Some I’ve lost to the system.
Releasing my book this year and being vulnerable in it has taken a lot of weight off my shoulders. It’s recharged me to do even more on the creative side.
One thing my therapist taught me: stop giving a f*** about people’s opinions. He didn’t say it in those exact words, but that’s how I decoded it.
Honestly, whatever you want to do in life, just don’t give a f**.* Post what you want to post. Go do that thing you’ve been sitting on, without caring about anybody’s judgement.
Don’t procrastinate. Don’t overthink. Just f***ing do it.
Don’t care about the sales. Don’t care about the views.
Tyler Perry’s first show? Nobody showed up. And today he’s a billionaire with one of the biggest studios in America.
I don’t know if I’ll ever “make it” in life. But what I do know is when it’s my time, I’ll be able to say: I tried.
If you take anything from this post, let it be this:
Just do what the f* you want to do and stop giving a f*** what people think.
