Have you ever heard that before? “Comparison is the thief of joy” that is.
I hadn’t till a friend of mine posted the quote on her instastory. So naturally I reposted it to mine because, duh. Social media and something with meaning making an impact obviously. I mean there has always been this understanding that it’s never good to compare yourself to the next person. However, I had never seen it written out in such a simple, but impactful way.

Good afternoon babes! So how’s 2019 been treating you guys so far?! Although we’re all only two full days in, it’s worth inquiring about. If you’re like me — many of you have come up with ways (or rather resolutions) to get a jump on making 2019 a year of improvement and growth.
The problem is as much as we try, we’re only human. Meaning, making resolutions is the easy part. Sticking to them? Another battle of its own. However, because I’m so down for making this year one of growth and prosperity (FOR US ALL), I have something for y’all. In today’s post I’m sharing tips on how to make sticking to your new year’s resolutions a priority.
Someone once told her,
“If you want better, go get better.”
She didn’t always understand what that meant because getting better is subjective.
What if getting better meant leaving one bad man, for a lesser bad man to one.
& to another,
What if getting better meant leaving poverty with sane mind, to enter the glitz and glam of insanity.
I once met a man I knew I wanted to love.
He was charismatic, but kind,
Hard, but damn fine
He knew his way in the kitchen to that I could attest,
making it hard for me to compare his capabilities to the rest.
He was the kind of man who warmed me up when I was cold,
simple things that gave way to getting to the depths of my soul.
So it stands to reason that this man was someone I’d always knew I wanted to know.
Because as a child, I had pictured,
A man that was charismatic and just as kind,
who brought more to the table than just a few smooth lines.
He’d be a listener who’d catch every word I’d say,
letting me run my mouth to no end, but right there he would stay.
Not to be confused, I would be his support system just as much as he’d be mine.
With an unshakeable foundation,
prepared to stand the test of time.
That’s what I’d always wanted for myself,
this I could never deny.
And to think I met him, then later questioned why.
Here’s the thing about meeting the man I knew I wanted to love.
I never said finding then keeping him,
wouldn’t be a challenge all on its own.
