Cosmic Drip

Let me be clear — this ain’t cocky. This is confidence. Hard-earned, battle-tested, took everything I had confidence.
For a long time I let people and systems tell me who I was. And I let them because I thought I needed it — their acceptance, their approval, their love, their pride. I thought they held the key to something I was desperately searching for.
Until I realized the only one who could give me what I needed… was me.
And baby, that realization did NOT come easy.
It came through trials. Tribulations. Heartbreak. Betrayal. Abuse. Devastation. Depression. Chronic illness. Two suicide attempts. And more.
Because I was stubborn. I wanted things my way.
People say “you’re so strong” — and yeah, I was. But not because I was confident in my strength. I was strong because I had no choice. I did what I was taught. I thought that was the right thing.
Now I know the right thing was never about being strong.
It was about loving myself. Healing. Being OK with not being OK.
The way we’re raised shapes how we see everything — but that doesn’t mean you have to stay in that frame. Same as the body changes, your vision can change. Your path can change. The way you see yourself can change.
And when it does? Your whole reality shifts.
If you feel called to do that work with some spiritual support — my books are open for April. But as always, mi amor — trust your intuition above all. Even if that means you don’t work with me. I’ll be here when it’s meant to be. 🍍🙏🏽
Ashé.
