Dear Self, You’re currently having a moment and it’s okay. You’re not perfect. Things happen. You will lose, but you’ll also gain. How someone chooses to show their love is not a reflection of your worth but rather their self-awareness and confidence. Love yourself through the difficult circumstances. You are still amazing. Seriously, you are! Even when times are hard, you make it work. So get out of your head. Release the fear. Take the time to listen and understand more. You are worthy of greatness. You are worthy of opportunities. You are worthy of maximized love and compassion in ABUNDANCE. While doing the best you can for & with others, don’t forget to show up for yourself. Keep betting on yourself. Keep loving on yourself. Sincerely,  Me #thelocdbella 📸: @misso.photo #chasingdenissepresets
Mondays... are you shooting all your shots or still being mediocre? A year ago, I was assisting and learning. Today, I’m shooting and STILL learning. As a creative, death comes when you stop learning... when you stop taking chances... when you stop trying new things. S/O to @amyanaizphoto for seeing something I failed to see in me & being a supportive pillar/friend in my growth... and my sister @linerayphoto to be there to capture (aka BTS troll 😂😂) the entire journey & process. #TeamAnaiz #TheLocdBella (📸: @linerayphoto aka trollster 😂😂)
Treat me like an option & I’ll dump you like an afterthought. #LeosAreSavages #DontTryIt #YoullLose #TheyGoLow #ITurnPetty #TempPost #ItDoesntFitMyGrid
Don’t forget... you are your magic. No matter how many times you fail or fall short... no matter how many times you question self... There’s no one like you & that’s your strength. 📸: @misso.photo #chasingdenissepresets #thelocdbella
When someone changes for the better, let them. Give them room to be the newest version of themselves without holding their past against them. 📸: @misso.photo #chasingdenissepresets #thelocdbella
My sister, my bae, spa date road dog, and let's hang out just because we're adults and we do what we want to do... is presenting this weekend. To say I am proud of her is an understatement. I am honored. I admire her strength. She possesses a smile that lights up my life and a heart of gold. I am in awe of her persistence. @aafiika , as you're about to present this weekend, know that you've got this. You were built for this. No one can mess with your purpose. 💕 #TheLocdBella #dagimages 📸: @dag_images
“Remember, the day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit. Be patient. Be humble. Keep moving forward and know that all this hard work you’re putting in day in and day out will produce the results you’ve been looking for. Your time is coming. Do not give up.” #TheLocdBella 📸: @misso.photo
“Thank you to my parents for raising me not to be thirsty” - @jackieaina 😂😂 #ad However, when I do get thirsty, I should always opt for quality mineral water. I tried @himalayanwaterus for a full week and here’s my take: 1. It’s light enough to carry around 2. Tastes so good + the electrolytes did it’s job! 3. The fact that it has never been touched by the hands of a human is 🤯. (click link in bio to understand what I mean) 4. I still don’t like drinking water but I’ll continue because my skin likes it 😂😂. #HimalayanWater #FindYourBalance #TheLocdBella (📸: @misso.photo + #chasingdenissepresets )
I’ve been learning not to take people’s absence or bad behavior personally. 90% of the time, it has absolutely nothing to do with you & if the other 10% does, they’ll let you know when they’re ready to have that conversation. But until then, keep chucking, keep growing, keep pushing, keep loving, and keep building. Life doesn’t stop because 1 human out of 20 billion doesn’t like your peachy ass. Remember, caviar ain’t for everybody. 📸: @misso.photo #thelocdbella #chasingdenissepresets #isaidwhatisaid
(Excerpt from morning meditation) The root of anger is the perception that something has been taken. Something is owed you. And now a debt-to-debtor relationship has been established. How about you? What debt is causing the anger you feel? How long are you going to allow the people who have hurt you to control your life? Another month? Another year? Another season of your life? How long? I’d like to propose that today should be the day when you quit holding on to the hurt! While it’s true that you can’t undo what’s been done, it’s equally true that you don’t have to let the past control your future. In Ephesians 4, we’re commanded to “get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger.” We do that by “forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” The remedy for anger is forgiveness. If we hold out waiting to be paid back for the wrongs done to us, we will be the ones who pay. If, on the other hand, we cancel the debts owed to us, we will be set free. Of the four monstrous forces we’re discussing in these devotionals, I believe this one—unresolved anger from intentional and unintentional hurt—is the most devastating. Yet in some ways it’s the easiest to overcome. You simply make up your mind to cancel the debt. You decide and declare, “You don’t owe me anymore.” Follow this four-step process today: (1) Identify who you’re angry with. (2) Determine what they owe you. (3) Cancel the debt by forgiving them. (4) Don’t let the anger build up again. 📸: @misso.photo #TheLocdBella
