It took me a long time to figure out it isn't worth it to hold onto people who don't have you high up on their list of priorities

And that I can simply set new priorities when I'm moved down from the tops of lists

Also that I need to only focus on my own priorities

And my own priorities are the most important of all

I must stick to them and with them

Not make space for other things that aren't helping me

That aren't pulling me towards my purpose and my passions and my cause

I'm not some sad hopeless case who can't earn for herself or make new friends or make her own life or find happiness anywhere

I'm a badass

I'm a strong capable women who can take care of herself

Who can set her own priorities

And who can drop people who aren't on that list without feeling bad

I'm the one in control

I'm the star

And I'm the one who needs to take control of my life

No bullshit

Not anymore

No feeling sorry for myself

No lying to myself

No running away from my goals

And no getting caught up in negative relationships and people that aren't right for me

I knew certain friends and people weren't right from the beginning yet chose to let it play out because didn't realize I had other options

None of that going forward

None of that desperate energy

No more fooling myself

No more ignoring my truth

Also no negativity or hanging around people who take digs at me or don't respect me

None of it

There are so many other options and possibilities and choices

Must look where efforts are actually going

And where I want mine to actually go

What my true priorities really are

And honor them

Over and over and over

No doubts

No sideways steps and bad moves out of cowardice or fear of letting go

No getting caught up in other people's orbits without developing and staying true to my own

It's my time to shine

For attention and love and growth

I must be willing to let go of all that does not feed me

To truly focus and align

All my energies must go towards building what I want

I can trust other people will take care of themselves and look after themselves

They are capable of setting their own priorities too

And it's not my job or duty or right to intercede

What's meant to happen and connect will

And some people exist just to try and mess with you and break your focus and derail your journey

I neither want to be one of those people or hang out with those people

No more

Centered, focused, deliberate is the only way
