Welcome to the Weekend!!!!
Happy Saturday Humans 😛‼️ How are you? Did you have a phenomenal Friday? This is the last weekend in August, and I can’t believe how fast the year has flown by. We’re literally walking out of 2025 soon! How’s your mental state right now? What has been the highlight of your year so far? Did you grow in an area of your life, or did you advance in ways you didn’t even expect? I truly hope you’ve evolved in some way, because growth is the goal. And if you haven’t quite gotten there yet, don’t stress—you still have time to be great. A few days is all it takes for a shift to happen.
My mental has been sh!tty, but I’m alive and that’s something to hold on to. I struggle deeply with not fixing human issues and saving people from themselves, but I made a vow to cease that trait. My favorite saying is “I don’t care as long as it doesn’t cost me anything “When it requires my money or time..We got a fkn problem. It’s exhausting trying to rescue everyone. I’m so used to swapping currency, ideas, and pure energy with my people that I assumed everyone operated like that. Truth is, some folks are only decent to themselves and they build circles that only benefit their comfort. Once my mind accepts that a person will never be how I visualize them..It’s a Wrap..I’m done! It was a hard pill to swallow, but also a freeing one.
I’ve noticed that I don’t have expectations for any human. I automatically think they’re a walking disappointment of some sort. If I feel like someone is wasting my time, playing games, or bullshytn me, I remove them from my mental Rolodex without hesitation. My peace is more valuable than their presence. Protecting my energy means I don’t allow people to rent space in my head without a deposit. That level of self-care comes with discipline, but it also comes with freedom.
I downplay so much about myself that I honestly think people sometimes forget I’m not normal. I’m not meant to fit into anyone’s small definition of “average.” I’m Ebony B. 🥰 And being me means moving differently, thinking differently, and protecting myself in ways people may not always understand. That’s okay, because I don’t need to be understood to be authentic. My job is to stand in my truth, not in their comfort zone.
So as you move through this Self-Care Saturday, remind yourself that evolution is ongoing. Release the need for reciprocity. Release the need to fix everyone. Protect your energy like it’s the most precious jewel you own—because it is. Some people come into your life to heal broken pieces for a moment, not forever. And that’s okay. Walk into your weekend with confidence, clarity, and the reminder that you are not normal—you are extraordinary. 💎
