FEATURED POST: A Self-Love Letter To Myself

To start off with, I am so proud of you. Life hasn’t been too easy on you lately, and I am truly sorry about that. But despite it all, you have managed to keep your head up and continue fighting throughout.

Be proud of everything you have gone through, and mostly, what you’ve become.

Stop being so hard on yourself. Everything will make sense to you one day. All the pain, hurt, and frustration will become worth it. Remember, everything happens for a particular reason. You are in the exact place you are meant to be right now. So breathe, be patient, and trust the course of your life. Let go of all the expectations you have created in your head. Accept reality as it comes. Accept life for what it is.

Don’t take everything so personally and try to not let others get you down. Most of the time, things have nothing to do with you, and everything to do with the other person. When people hurt you, try and understand their side of the story. Forgive them. Learn from their wrongdoings, and then let it remain in the past. Not everything is always how it appears.

You are perfect in every way, especially with your flaws. Accept the things that make you different, while embracing everything that makes you unique.

Even though you think you are broken, there is so much beauty in your pain. Also, you’re really not as broken as you think you are. You are stronger than anything that has tried to tear you down. You are a survivor, not a victim. So with that, try not to be so hard on yourself, we both know you’re doing the best you can.

Create a meaningful life for yourself that you can be proud of. Promise me, you will make the most of it all. Never let anyone get in the way of your goals in life. More importantly, never give up on your passions and your dreams. Do not waste your time on people who do not believe in you. You don’t need anyone like that in your life. Only surround yourself with people who encourage and inspire you.

You deserve the world and even a little more. You are smart. You are beautiful. You are enough. You are everything. You are all.

Try not to rely too much on others for your happiness.

At the end of the day, all you are guaranteed is yourself, never forget this.

Stop worrying so much about stupid boys. There is so much more to you than being someone else’s girlfriend or wife. Frankly, there is so much more to life than a guy. Be patient, and stay positive, while waiting for love. Just because you have not found it yet, does not mean you don’t deserve to be loved.

You must learn to completely love yourself, before you even try to love another.

Help others. Be a good friend and make sure to be kind of your family. Be selfless, not selfish. Love like you never seen pain before. And if you do not find the strength to do so, just make sure you find enough love for yourself.

You are so strong my dear. You have been through a lot and come out on the winning end. The world has tried to break you, but you never let it. Thank your past, for it has made you into a better person today.

Not everyone you have meet is meant to stay around forever. People will leave you. On the contrary, you will also leave others. People will disappoint you, and all you can do is learn to appreciate them for what they have taught you. Thank the people who have stayed. Fill the spaces of the ones who have gone.

More importantly, gracefully let go of the things and people that are not meant for you. Accept things the way they are.

Thank you for never giving up and being so tough. You inspire others and you lift them up. Stay strong. Stand up tall. Be more beautiful than ever. Make them wonder how you do it.

You know you deserve the world, now go get it.

I haven’t written in a while. Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy, maybe it’s because I haven’t found anything I wanted to write about. But that quickly changed on Friday when Netflix launched its new documentary: Amanda Knox.

Before I watched the documentary, I knew a little about the death of Meredith Kercher, the arrests of Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito, Patrick Lumumba and Rudy Guede, the media attention, the two separate trials and the acquittal.

So based on that small amount of information, I assumed that Knox and Sollecito were innocent, Lumumba got caught up in something he had no knowledge of, and Guede was the person who took Meredith’s life.

After watching the documentary, I’m not so sure.

Look at her, how is she smiling in court?!

I’m not unsure of Amanda’s innocence because of her portrayal by Netflix. In fact, this was one of few documentaries I’ve seen…

Bobby Brown Wants Nick Gordon To Be Criminally Charged For Bobbi Kristina’s Death

Originally posted on Bossip:

Bobby Brown is on a mission to bring justice to whoever was involved in the death of Bobbi Kristina.

The singer recently opened up about about the guilty verdict in Nick Gordon’s wrongful death suit. Bobby now tells T.D. Jakes that only ONE thing can bring him closure after losing his beloved daughter.

“I don’t know the specifics of what happened, but as the judge has said, he is legally responsible,” the 47-year-old “My Prerogative” singer said in an interview on “The T.D. Jakes Show” that will air Wednesday night.

“The D.A. still hasn’t taken out criminal charges on Nick Gordon, and that’s what I’m waiting for him to do. That’s when I think I will get some closure.”

Bobby adds that he knows Nick is legally liable for the death of Bobbi Kristina and that alone has brought some form of peace to him since her tragic passing.

“But until then, just knowing that he’s legally responsible for my daughter’s death has given me a bit of calmness to waiting for that D.A.”

Here a clip from the interview:

 

After watching the first interview that Nick Gordon did last year with Dr. Phil shortly following Bobbi Kristina’s death, the level of his involvement in the whole situation was certainly questionable.

He seemed to be faking putting on and “acting” eerily over dramatic which came across very suspicious. He claims that at the time of that interview, he was grieving and heavily self medicated on “Xanax and liquor.” He has since taken Dr. Phil’s advice to go to rehab.

Check out a clip from that interview below.

A more media trained composed, sober Nick appeared on the show again this year to attempt to clear his name. He declares that anyone who believes he had ‘the smarts or mental capability’ to kill Bobbi Kristina is “stupid.” He also denied accusations of abuse, other than drug abuse and calls the family’s $10 million lawsuit against him, “a joke.”

Such a terrible, tragic love story. Something definitely “happened” to her. Maybe one day we will find out the truth.

Rest in peace Bobbi K.
