How can a person be who they are, without having any idea of who they actually are?
Every being goes through the know-it-all phase; the stage of life when continuous mistakes are made because we refuse to listen to anyone, or even thoroughly follow directions. Oh, that's just me? Anywho, a person can’t possibly be their best-self when they don’t even know who their not-so best-self is. See, that’s why it’s so important that we SLOW DOWN; that we listen to God speaking to us; that we recognize what growth is and prevent stagnancy. It is extremely difficult to make wise decisions with a chaotic lifestyle. However, once a certain level of maturity is reached and maintained, one can begin to successfully be and live at peace. Being at peace and living a happy life is a choice that can be made only by the individual seeking this lifestyle. Like, the people around you, who totally have your best interest at heart, can’t make happiness appear in your life; only can they share it with you.
Choosing to be happy has to be a decision made from the inside out; living life out at its highest potential can only be done by very special people. Not everyone knows how.
That being said, I am Shabetti Shabazz. Just 4 months ago, I was a broken young lady, full of writing potential, who always thought I knew what was best for me- but, in actuality had no real clue. I mean, I knew the things I liked and didn’t like, sort of. I knew all about love, until I met it, face to face. Then of course, I blew it. I kinda had a decent career as a young writer. But most of all, I was so internally hurt and had no direction. Basically, I was living a self-destructing life.
Wow, just thinking back, 4 short months ago, is causing endless emotions to surface. All I can say is thank you Jesus. I've experienced so much in my life time and became an unhappy person, without even realizing; a lot of my life’s problems and mistakes came from unresolved issues of the past. My childhood problems didn’t become apparent or even affect me until my adulthood. And, it took fasting for 42 days and a major heartbreak, at 21 years old, for me to realize that. How can a gal be 21 and not know who she is? Trust me it's possible. The key is to continue growing and never limit your own wisdom by being too, hardheaded and consumed by the tragic happenings of the past.
Today, October 11th, 2015 Shabetti Bashazz is a better writer, with a humbled heart filled with gratitude, that is no longer lazy and who capitalizes on every great, God given opportunity sent my way. I'm am honest, hardworking, and, over all, more pleasant young woman. Although I lost the love of my life, I am continuing to strive for greatness and success. I've gotten focused on becoming my best self, and plan on making an attempt to save that love, once more, when God ordains the perfect time. As for now, my career has taken a large step; I now write for FMHipHop and am amongst industry veterans. And, I am closer to God than ever before, and plan to walk in righteousness, all the days of my life.
