I don’t hide my contradictions and neither should you.

“Spiritual and Fierce” by Carmellita with Canva.com

“Now, that makes no damn sense whatsoever,” I said rolling my eyes.

He laughed, “Oh, are you mad. You! I thought you were all spiritual. Little Ms. Positivity.

When I gave him the side-eye, he quickly changed his tone. “I’m just kidding,” he said.

When some people find out you are “spiritual” or what I call on the path of self-awareness and soul evolution, they think you should be nice all the time. I’m not nice. Nope. I’m not. I’m kind and compassionate. I will stand with you and for you if you are uplifting others.

Still, I am not nice.

Nice people aren’t necessarily pushovers. I’m not implying that at all. Niceness is a gift. It is an innate part of some people’s personalities.

I am not nice because even as I experience joy and abundance in varying states every day, I can get pissed off and I have no problem expressing I am pissed off. But, I can get pissed off and be happy at the same time. I have told off people when they seek to offend or unnerve me. And yet, I will quickly apologize when I am wrong.

My side-eye is fierce. It’s so fierce it has stopped arguments mid-sentence. On the other hand, my heart is genuine and my love…
