I am ME

I am ME
Can’t you see
You can’t change
What God has made

I am ME
I am beautiful
I am fascinating
I am free

I am ME
Can’t you see
You can’t possess me
Keep me
Boxed in selfishly

I am ME
Let me be
Leave me
To the one
Who created ME
Most Extraordinary

Location (Remix) by Khalid ft. Lil Wayne and Kehlani

[Lil Wayne:]
Remix, baby, yeah

I meet you at the spot, send the location
I don’t do this a lot, special occasion
I know you ain’t a thottie, you ain’t no basic
I turn your dry spot to an oasis
I kiss the right spots, I know all the places
Oh I lick the right spots, that’s an ultimatum
The loud in rotation, cloud 9, floatation
Let the rose petals spread like rotation
I know your ex to blame for your cold nature
Tell him stay in his lane, stop the road ragin’
And now I got you in here makin’ those faces
Runnin’ ’round the bedroom like four bases, moolah!

[Khalid:]
Send me your location, let’s
Focus on communicating
‘Cause I just need the time and place to come through (place to come through)
Send me your location
Let’s ride the vibrations
I don’t need nothing else but you

At times I wonder why I fool with you
But this is new to me, this is new to you
Initially, I didn’t wanna fall for you
Gather my attention it was all for you, so don’t
Take advantage, don’t leave my heart damaged
To understand that things go a little bit better when you plan it… oh
So won’t you

Send me your location, let’s
Focus on communicating
‘Cause I just need the time and place to come through
Send me your location
Let’s ride the vibrations
I don’t need nothing else but you

[Kehlani:]
Drop me a pin, let’s fall
Way deeper into whatever we’re callin’ it
Whatever we’re fallin’ into
‘Cause I don’t really care about rules
I don’t really care about rules
I just really care about you
I’m enjoyin’ starin’ into
Your eyes when I’m all in it with you
They can choose to watch, but I’d rather they just listen
Could fill up an album with everything that they’re missin’
They so superficial, don’t understand how we’re chillin’
We don’t need a lot, we got us and that’s why we’re winnin’
To them it’s a park bench, us a magic carpet
Little trips to Target turn to avant garde shit
I promise, we got this, we got this
Baby just send me your

[Khalid {Kehlani}:]
Send me your location, let’s
Focus on communicating
‘Cause I just need the time and place to come through (place to come through)
{Time and place to come through}
Send me your location
Let’s ride the vibrations
I don’t need nothing else but you
{Nothing else, but you}

[Khalid {Kehlani}:]
Ride, ride, ride, come and vibe with me tonight
{Ride, ride}
I don’t need nothing else but you
(I don’t need nothing else but you)
Ride, ride, ride, come and vibe with me tonight
{Ride, ride… tonight}
I don’t need nothing else but you
{But you, but you}
Nothing else but you
{But you}
[Lil Wayne:] Remix, baby
[Khalid {Kehlani}:]
Do, do, do, do, do, do
{Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do}
Oh, oh, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, mmm, mmm, mmm
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
{Do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do}
I don’t need nothing else but you

Love Among Thorns

I love you
Despite your brokenness
Despite that you have
Torn my heart apart

I love you
Because you deserve
Love just like I do
Embrace my love

As you move forward
Do your best to break free
From the things that
Broke you in the first place

Strive to be a person
Who heals
Instead of hurts
Love yourself
Unconditionally
As God does

I love you
Among your thorns
I delight in your fruit
Born from our love

Until the Pain is Gone by Daley ft. Jill Scott

Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh

Try to see this through my eyes
Cause you’re not the only one confused
In this world where love is prone to lose
Still I’m ready to give this thing a try
But how do I give to someone
Who wants what they can’t have

So if you need love, say it
I know that you feel it but I can’t
Keep holding on and on and on
I need to be the only one
Yeah, cause I know that you get lonely

So show me the things you’re scared to show me
And we can go on and on and on
‘Til the pain is gone

I don’t even know if I believe in love
But in it with you I’d like to be
I’ve just been so cynical baby
So can you convince me change my mind?
We can leave all those demon days behind
Cause, didn’t I mention
I have nothing but good intentions for you

So if you need love, say it
I know that you feel it but, I can’t
Keep holding on and on and on
I need to know that I’m the one
Yeah cause I know that you get lonely

So show me the things you’re scared to show me
We can go on and on and on
‘Til the pain is gone
(‘Til the pain is gone)

The pain that you knew before (The pain that you knew before)
It don’t matter any more

So if you need
So if you need love, say it
I know that you feel it but, I can’t
Keep holding on and on and on (Can’t keep holding one)
I need to know that I’m the one
Yeah cause I know that you get lonely
So show me the things you’re scared to show me
We can go on and on and on
Until the pain is gone, pain is gone

When love matures it’s so noticeable. One day you realize that you are wearing each other like your favorite familiar skin. That’s not necessarily bad because it means you have entered a higher level of trust. The reality is that not everyone we encounter will gain access to this space. So when there is one there it’s noticeable.

According to Psychology Today mature healthy love:

“Waits, respects, gives the benefit of the doubt, listens, trusts, cares, accepts, takes pleasure in the successes and joys of the other, accepts love without question of motive or condition, forgives, lets go when necessary, says goodbye…but not perfectly and not always. (Smith, 2012)”

What I find amazing is that this corresponds with a Bible verse on love. I know many are so quick to discredit the Bible but it really does contain some truths to living in freedom.

“Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end (2 Corinthians `13:3-7, MSG).”

This is a sweet time in your journey because you feel free to be your silly self without reproach, to kiss each other with morning breath and not get slapped. Yes moments where you realize you love all of them. So what do you do when you get here?

You love unconditionally, that’s what you do. You don’t condemn because they are less than perfect. All the men in my life have abandoned me emotionally and physically. Starting with the first man, my father. He died and never made amends. I never heard his story. I only know bits and pieces of it.

But parents you should know that it’s important for your children to hear your story. All of it even the bad parts. It will bring healing and understanding to them. We have so many generational curses that are upon us. Especially as black people. Our struggle is not only to exist but to also find out who we are. Our identity was stolen hundreds of years ago. Our families inherited the anger and defeat of many of our ancestors.

But today the Spirit stood up and said this family will be free. We will start anew and create a new legacy in both love, spirit, and relationships. Our children will not endure what we had to, they will experience true freedom and give it to their children.

Today I love and am loved completely. My heart, yes that’s what I call him, he takes care of me. God confirmed for me this morning that my heart will not abandon me. He is not like the others. I unconsciously attracted those who were similar to my father but not this time.

This is a fresh spirit, that gives back to me. That sustains me through our connection, which is our love. I will always be there he is saying and I will allow you is my response. Love and healing, an awesome combination.
