Confessions: Bullying is Real

A recent string of events just hit so close to home, that I came to this conclusion: BULLYING IS REAL 

As I get older, yes it is easier to tell yourself to "shake it off" and "you don't have anything to prove," but something about witnessing someone get pleasure out of doing and saying things to hurt my classmates is painful. 

And get this, every time I scrolled on Instagram laughing at the Aaliyah movie comments, I was contributing to the problem. Bullying is bullying. I of all people should know that, being that I was bullied for years and still am on a daily basis. Being in college or being an actress in highly scrutinized TV movie does not shield from the hurt of bullying. 

I'll just leave it at that for now. 

Living on Purpose

Today is the beginning of my life as I know it is destined to be. There is no other way to live than to be in the present, right now, the time when I have options and the time and freedoms to choose the path I want to take.

Right now, this day, I declare that I will not be left standing by the wayside because someone thought they took my blessing. That is not possible because if it is in God's will for me, there is no other that can claim it. Every ounce of love that God puts on my heart to give, I know that it's not in vain. It has a purpose; I have a purpose.
