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.
