Poetic Justice

As of late, I have been very self-aware and conscious about the type of energy I put out into the world and likewise, the type of energy that I receive. I have always been a very sensitive person. By sensitive I mean that I have always been able to read people very well and examine their energy - be it positive or negative. I can usually tell a person's true colors within the first few hours around them. However, in the past, I have been known to spot out negative energy and still allow it into my life. The older - well more like wiser - that I have gotten, I have definitely let that go. At this point in my life I have adopted a zero tolerance attitude for negative energy in all forms that it may come.

I'm not sure if you all have seen the movie Poetic Justice starring Janet Jackson and if you haven't then what on earth are you doing with your life? Well, the outfit I am wearing in this post got me thinking about poetic justice and its literal meaning. Side note, if you don't know why this outfit made me think of Poetic Justice, here you go. Great movie! Anyway, literarydevices.net defines poetic justice as "an ideal form of justice in which the good characters are rewarded and the bad characters are punished by an ironic twist of their fate." This got me thinking a lot about the kind of energy I want to put out into the world. I strive every day to be the best person I can be in all aspects of my life. I realize that nobody is perfect and mistakes will always be made, but it is important to me that I at least try every day to do right by everyone I encounter. I hope to always put out good and positive energy and I expect the same from the people I allow in my life. Do good, get good and do bad, get bad.

Go With The Flow

Every now and again it is really important to remove yourself from your every day life and blow off some steam. I never used to be the most adventurous person in my group of friends and frankly I still am not. However, in recent times, I have made it my mission to work on that. I've always been a stick to the schedule and work with the plan kind of girl but I soon learned that life doesn't work that way. No matter how much we plan and schedule, life enjoys throwing curve balls at us. I figured if that's how it's going to be then I'm going to enjoy the ride. These days I am a huge believer in unplanned trips, unexpected fun, and random getaways. I have learned that these are the memories that I cherish the most.  If you truly want to make the most out of life, then every now and again ditch your planner and go with the flow. Thank me later!

RARE

My good friends at Rare Credentials sent me this awesome signature croptop from their wonderful clothing collection. As soon as I got it I just knew how I was going to wear it and what I wanted to wear it with. Super obsessed with the big gold RARE print. You all know how I feel about individuality and daring to be different. In lieu of all the challenges going viral on social media lately, I challenge you to look in the mirror and say "They don't make 'em like me anymore ... I'm RARE." Thank me later for the pick me up your day will experience after that.
