Y’all Need Jesus

Hello my little French croissants!!! I want to just say, “OH MAH STARS I AM SO BLESSED!!” (If you really know me you know how that would have sounded.) But WOW - the overwhelming amount of support I’ve gotten through my new insta page?!?! Who knew you guys had it in ya - jk I am so appreciative and people folllowed me that I didn’t even know read, let alone CARED about my 2am thoughts spewed into the worldwide web-universe! SO WOW - THANK YOU🥺.

Aight, enough of the sappy shit. I just got back from being in the motherland and it was much needed. I read through some old journals (yikes) and looked through some old pics (bigger yikes). Being surrounded by the fam was a blessing, AND IMPORTANTLY, gave me the strength I needed to biggity bounce it all the way back to Boston. Ayooo! - ew stop me please.

ANYWHO - because of quarantimes, I haven’t graced the lord with my presence in quite some time - literally and figuratively. I have been so spiritually absent and LAWD lemme tell you I got #blessed with Beth, Rick, et al on Sunday.

Now listen - I am, BY NO MEANS, Mother Theresa, or even a distant non-blood relative to her, but I’ve been known to get down with the Holy Ghost every now and again. What I got from church was a sense of calmness. There is a really nice feeling of togetherness, not even with the people around you, but within yourself. (For me at least - if you fall asleep in church, I get it)

Religion is tricky. I have qualms with the church about many things, but Jesus? He and I are cool. It’s important to remember that you don’t need to be in a crusty building sitting in an uncomfortable wooden bench to find Him either. FOR ME - that’s how I was raised and taught to summon my spiritual believes, so that’s what’s familiar. But hey, if you find some spiritual wokeness in a Taco Bell parking lot - all the power to ya.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that having something to believe in is a good thing. It can be anything really. If you want to believe in a god, multiple gods, a greater good, or even just a future of happiness, then DO IT. There is no right or wrong way to become spritually at one with yourself - as long as you’re doing it to better your internal well-being.

So get off of Tinder and go metitate in a Home Goods or wherever you feel whole - it can do some heeling you didn’t realize you needed! Get ~holy~ with it and don’t forget to keep on smilin’ AYOOO - seriously someone stop me.

P.s. “You can’t change the past and you can’t predict the future, but you can ruin the present by worrying about them both.”
