Mar 9 Nobody Cares Until You Win, But F*ck Them

T.K.

Some of the messages shared during the panel discussion hosted by Kelly Rowland for International Women's Day really hit home for me.

The multitalented songstress touched on not shrinking yourself, setting boundaries with friends to maintain your energy, and the transformational moment that turning 30 was for her.

(I wrote an entire blog post over a year ago about refusing to keep shrinking myself, that I revisited only days ago. I've been in the process of reevaluating relationships and giving those relationships the time and energy they deserve, based on the fruit they bear. And child, I've been prepping for 30 since hitting the latter half of these 20s. All of these thoughts had been fresh on my mind, and for Ms. Rowland to bring them into conversation so eloquently, it was as if the message was for me.)

I hear You, God. I know You are going to make a way for me when You see fit. I'll be patient and do my best to be prepared.

I'm nowhere near where I want to be, and it seems I'm getting nowhere fast, but in the words of Kelly's former girl group, Destiny’s Child, I'm not gon' give up. I'm gon' work harder. I'm gon' make it.

Thank you for being here.
