Post 9 of 10 of LoveYourzStory’s Jhené Aiko Series. Inspired by “Eternal Sunshine.”

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 am my own weather woman – no one can tell me my emotional forecast.

When it rains, I let it pour. Fuck it, I don’t want the umbrella.

I don’t avoid the rain anymore, I want to feel that shit.

But it’s crucial to remember to pivot after it’s felt and processed.

I refuse to linger in gray clouds longer than I have to.

I control my own weather.

I command my thoughts and emotions, not vice versa.

Circumstances remained basically the same, but a shift in mindset brought me to constant clear skies.

I choose whether I want to be the thunder, blue skies, rain, desert heat, tornado, rainbow, or all the above…

So why not choose to be the sunshine?

Realizing that I am the sun, moon, and stars all on my own brought me the peace I needed.

No outside source is required for my happiness.

How can you dim a light that comes from within?

Little Miss Self-Sabotage

Note to self –

There will come a day where you meet the reason why you never settled.

When that day comes, I pray you have the self-awareness to realize when you’re starting to run.

I pray you have the discernment to know the difference between a gut feeling and the natural instinct to self-sabotage when things are great.

I hurt a little inside knowing that you are weary of good things because it is so foreign to you.

But embrace what is being presented to you – don’t run from things that seem too good to be true.

You deserve the world, let the world give it to you.

And when you get the slightest inkling to detach in fear, I hope you remember to move with trust and love.
