Post 1 of 10 of LoveYourzStory’s Jhené Aiko Series. Inspired by “W.A.Y.S.”
I’m deep in my Jhené Era, bitchhh!! 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 selfffff ✨️
I used to wait patiently in front of doors to open.
I didn’t mind the wait if it was a door I wanted… or thought I wanted.
But patience doesn’t last forever, for I am only human.
So, I would build up courage to cowardly knock on the door.
Silence. Access denied. So, I’d waited some more.
Patiently waiting always escalated.
From sheepishly attempting to open the door, to forcefully knocking and yelling, to shamelessly trying to trespass out of frustration.
If I want something, I give my all. I always find a way in.
But what I’ve found was this:
I can’t force myself into rooms that are not meant for me.
I should never have to force a door to open.
Closed doors are redirection, embrace it with open arms.
Sometimes the doors we want are closed for a reason.
Trust that there are always bigger and better possibilities than what we think we want.
I will always be able to walk through doors that are meant for me.
I am the key.
