I was supposed to get married yesterday 💍
Today, I was supposed to wake up as somebodies wife 👰♀️
BUT I DIDNT. Thank the lord, hallelujah 🙌🏻
I woke up after sleeping like a baby sideways on the bed with the fan in my face thanking God that I recognized my worth and my potential 🙏🏼
There’s so much more in store for me than raising a manchild and being a mother and a housewife. Traditional and mediocre just isn’t for me 🚫
If I woke up that mans wife, I’d still be telling my female friends I couldn’t because *insert another excuse* because I didn’t want to argue when I returned home from my plans. And my female friends would still be telling me I’m an adult and I shouldn’t be “in trouble” all the time 🙄
I’d still be dodging my guy friends cause lord forbid. Wheewwwww 🥴
I’d still be walking on eggs shells and feeling trapped 😩
I’d still be sliding my debit card under the table at the restaurant to save a “grown man’s” pride 🤦🏼♀️
I’d still be mad about all the same s**t 🚩
Now I can stay out as long as I want. Matter of fact, I don’t even gotta come home cause when I do come home, I don’t have anyone to answer to. But I choose to stay home because I like it here 🏡
Now I can do whatever I want with whoever I want when I want and I don’t have a worry in the world, but I still don’t be entertaining anybody cause my standards high and my tolerance for bulls**t low 😒
Now, my guy friends and I talk daily, but they still haven’t escaped the friend zone 😂
Now the only dates I pay for are the one I take myself on, and matter of fact, it’s rare to see me on a date with anyone, but myself 👑
Now I take trips by myself and no one tells me their bank account is over drafted AFTER flying across the country. I still be the one paying for everything tho ☹️
Now I wear what I want and no one complains about it 🥵
Now I like my own company more than anyone else’s and the thought of having a man doesn’t even appeal to me because I like my freedom entirely too much and I’m not trying to compromise🙅🏼♀️
Now, I’m fulfilled, my opportunities are endless, and no one is standing in my way. No one is suffocating me, accusing me of s**t I’m not doing, or interrupting my peace 🥳
Now, I’m glowing, building, and succeeding 💃
Now, I remember who the f**k I am and I solemnly swear, I won’t make the same mistakes again 👏🏼
Now, I’m new and improved and determined to be better everyday 🔝
Now, I do what I want and I’m living my best life ✨
