I am so happy for you. Starting over is hard especially the older you get. We get accustomed to the daily life we’ve created bad or good, and it’s hard asf to shake that off. Your true girlies know you didn’t fall off. Girl you really can’t fall off cause the real ones will always look for you. You just needed time! I love this so much and I hope you continue to make these blogs. This literally means so much to me. I feel like we have a lot in common and I just realized I really can do anything it may be hard, it may be scary but I can do it.
Love this 🤝🏾 starting over is so necessary, especially to walk into your real purpose in life. Those leap-of-Faith moments will have you sweating, lol but it’s so worth it! I can resonate with this and I’m sure many others can as well. I recently moved from my hometown to another state & I know God led me to. It’s better to launch into something new for the sake of growth, then to remain stagnant in our ‘comfort zones’ — simply because it’s what’s familiar to us. Proud of you, keep soaring. & I might have to try that therapy thing out! Lol 🫶🏾
Posts like this reassure you that you’re not alone. 2021 and 2022 were terrible years for me, emotionally, physically, mentally, financially and career wise. When 2023 hit I finally got back on my feet and everything started looking up! Then in September, I was physically attacked by a new person my best friend brought into our friend circle. Unfortunately, my best friend continued to pursue a friendship with this person so needless to say we are no longer friends. Having to remove somebody from my life that I was so close to for almost 20 years was just another hit I had to take in life. But one thing I do know for sure is that God can’t elevate you with the wrong people around you! So, even though it’s my new reality, the peace I have now is unmatched! It’s allowed me to refocus my energy and focus on things that I want to accomplish/try. I’m definitely in my starting over era and I’m going for everything that I’ve ever wanted!!! Good luck to you Aaliyah and everyone on their journey!! 🥰
This shifted something inside of me. I’m in tears because I needed to hear this today. God knew that I needed to hear this today. Thank you, seriously, thank you.
Thank you so much for this girl. My man broke up with me and I’ve just been so embarrassed to start over and have been constantly thinking people will definitely look at me as a failure. I really loved what you said about starting over it’s supposed to be a good thing and we should embrace that .
And this IS why you’re the IT girl. Thankyou for finding the strength, courage and confidence to make the decisions you’ve made. Everything has brought you to this exact moment and you get to continue to inspire others. I relate to this so much!!!!
I am sooooo happy that you posted this. I had to relocate and had these same exact thoughts. Once you stop giving a fuck you unlock a new level in your life and I’m so proud of you! This post blessed me and let me know that I made the right decision!! Keep going babe we are rooting for you and keep posting! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow this was so enlightening and awe inspiring because I too am pivoting and those around me are questioning me but I know my future holds more for me so I’m not afraid but optimistic to see what happens. I love how open and vulnerable you were with us . Thank you
I’m so proud of you Aaliyah 🥺♥️ I’m turning 27 next week and literally going through the same thing I cried reading this because I felt like God meant for me to see it. I’ve been watching you for a long time and never would have thought you were feeling this way watching your vlogs in LA years ago. We are similar in that way. We tend to smile and laugh through our trials and tribulations but I honestly think that is our superpower 💪🏽 I just recently learned to love myself the way I love others and realize that it is okay to not be ok! I finally got fed up with my dam self and stopped letting people play with me just because I’m nice and have a big heart. If I have to be alone the rest of my life I will for the sake of PEACE! Anyways you are doing amazing even just recognizing your power and making changes which a lot of people are scared to do. Love you sister and don’t forget you are the original “IT GIRL” . Anything you want you can get it! I’m so proud of you 🎉🫂🍾
Aaliyah .. omg what a hidden talent you have! I’ve been watching you since your first YouTube video 💗you have grown to be an amazing woman and thank you for being open with us. I appreciate your transparency. We all at some point go through this. It’s refreshing to hear someone openly speak about it and provide useful insight on how to overcome. Thank you and keep up the amazing work 💗
Aaliyah. To think that you were hesitant about posting this!! THANK YOU. It’s so so good I want to reread a million times over. Beautifully spoken & truly a message that I needed to hear. Can’t wait for more of these from you, I love you
Wow. This was so powerful and transformational. Thank you Aaliyah, for your level of vulnerability and humility. Your testimony (story and voice) is helping so many others like myself. I’ve also struggled with starting over, being overlooked and also feeling like a failure, and caring what others think/how I’m viewed to the outside world. I’ve slowly been breaking down those barriers through a lot of self reflection and prayer. God has been showing me that change isn’t a bad thing-but a chance to go deeper-Deeper perspectives, deeper faith in yourself/God, and deeper insight of reality. The more we dive into the unknown, as scary as it seems, the more power shows up and helps us unlock versions of ourselves we never knew existed.
But how would we know who we’ll become, if we’ve never dived in to the unknown?
Yes! I love hearing women's stories about those moments we make the decision to take back control of our lives. I love how reassuring this quote is: "Sometimes you have to go back to the drawing board. Things change, And that’s okay. Its life." Something that's helped me through pivots has been switching my perspective from 'I have to' into 'I get to'. For example, "I get to go back to the drawing board." Like you said in your post, it helps remind me as long as I have air in my lungs being able to start over and try again is a blessing. xo, Zauni.
Wow, thank you for your vulnerability and sharing this. This was so good! The road to rediscovering who you really are can be so ugly but it is so good for us. I don’t know you but I’m proud of you for taking such a huge leap of faith!
