April 19, 2026: the art of walking in love

Another day, another dawn. Happy Sunday, happiness crusaders! ☀️

Since my last blog post, I’ve definitely taken the time to sit with my indifference. I grieve for the friendships I want, the person I have been, and for anyone that wants to sit in their own indifference toward me. At the end of the day, I can’t make people care like me. I can’t expect “me” from others.

As little girls, we spend our free time imaging what our lives would be like as grown ups. I often refer to it as the “white picket fence dream”. Working towards that has been a challenge due to my own faults. I know certain people will read that and have their justified reactions, but I don’t care. I learned my lesson the incredibly difficult way… and I’m still learning. Queue Kesha’s “Learn to Let Go”.

Nobody ever talks about the other side of that. What if there’s a person out there that has pictured their idea of a perfect life centering you around it? What if your friends protect your name in rooms you’re not in? Who’s there to pick you up when you’ve fallen down? Who’s there sitting with you crying over that heartbreak that you’ve cried over hundreds of times? My point, I’m tired of falling and failing. This time, I’m walking. I’m walking in love.

Walking in my own shoes within my own standards.

Walking in acceptance of others and how they carry themselves.

I’m walking towards a goal. That goal is happiness.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us love, power, and self-discipline.

2 Timothy 1:7

Here’s three things that make me happy:

The smell of freshly brewed coffee, chilly windy days, having a home that my friends are comfortable staying at.

Stay Blessed,

Starshine ✨
