I appreciate the encouragement

I appreciate the disappointments

I appreciate the confidence

I appreciate the depression

I appreciate everything because I know that all things work together for my good

This post is an Appreciation to all things in the universe, that works in my favor wether I realize it at the time or not.

The situations and relationships I’ve cried over, that led me to write some of my dopest work.

I’ve realized that my misfortunes could really just be someone else’s blessing. Maybe, God knew I was strong enough to withstand that turmoil and could give advice or a helping hand to someone not as strong or not equipped with the knowledge or fight that I have.

As hard as it may be sometimes, I am appreciative for it all .

Over the past few months, I’ve received so many questions and personal life stories with people asking me for advice. I am so grateful, that I can use my experiences to help someone in need because I did not have that growing up. I had people who sympathized with me but none that really empathized. I always felt out of place or weird.

I’ve been told countless times, I couldn’t complain because others had it worse or others would love to be in my position. Because of believing those words, I felt that I should just smile through my pain because it wouldn’t be taken seriously.

It’s a very bitter/sweet experience. Knowing that others not only connect with you but also value your opinion, is amazing. However, hearing these familiar stories and knowing that others had to endure the pain that I am all to familiar with is heartbreaking.

If opening my life up to the world helps even one person…. it’s worth it to me.
