Just In Case

Post 6 of 10 of LoveYourzStory’s Jhené Aiko Series. Inspired by “Pretty Bird.”

I’m deep in my Jhené Era. She’s def the top artist I’ve been listening to on repeat for at least the last 6 months. This series will be a showcase of how her music has inspired me throughout this journey – the journey back to self✨️

I’ve been taught to always plan for rainy days – life is unpredictable.

Mentally exhaust all possibilities to prepare for the unexpected.

Life can’t pull a fast one on you if you’re 100 steps ahead.

I need to make sure that at the end of any possibility, I remain untouched, unbothered, victorious.

Some call it smart, others call it overthinking, I call it Me.

“Just in case,” I tell myself, creating an exit plan before I even enter – completely unaware that I’m speaking doubt into my reality.

But fuck that. I don’t want to be held prisoner to that way of thinking.

I want to shift my focus to just in case it all happens in my favor.

Just in case it goes even better than expected.

Just in case I get exactly what I wanted and then some.

Just in case you tend to forget too – It always works out.
