“What’s the point? Even when you win the rat race…you’re still a rat.”
-Kayode’s encouraging words upon hearing of my resignation. I hope I haven’t opened the floodgates.

I can barely focus at work these days. Since I dropped my resignation letter, my cheeks have not come down! Lol. People can’t even ask if I’m sad to be leaving, my entire aura is charged. I’m just electric-buzzing every space I’m in because as scared as I am of the unknown, as sad as I am of leaving the known, I’m far more excited for what the future promises. My future is so pregnant right now and I just pray that I have the strength, grace and wisdom necessary for the birthing. No looking back, the way forward is….you guessed it; forward.

This Jazmine Sullivan (huge fan here!) song is an oldie but definitely a goodie and captures my thoughts in this pre-dream season. 🙂

Dream Big by Jazmine Sullivan

Packing up my shhhhhh and I’m going real far
Going off to Hollywood to be a big star
There’s nothin’ here for me, so I gotta move fast
And I’m gettin’ on the road and will never look back
(Hey)

I gotta dream big
(Dream big)
‘Cause when it happen
It’s gon’ happen real quick

Yes, I feel it, I gotta
I gotta move fast
‘Cause when it happen
I can’t let it go past
(Only get one chance)

Can’t spend another second
Sitting on my mama’s couch
So if I don’t take a chance
I won’t ever get out

Some people talk but never
Do they just runnin’ they mouth
But I mean just what I say
And I’m a show them about, yeah

I gotta dream big
(I gotta dream big)
‘Cause when it happen
It’s gon’ happen real quick

Yes, I feel it, I gotta
I gotta move fast
‘Cause when it happen
I can’t let it go past
(Only get one chance)

When it feel like you been waiting
All your life for the second
You’ll be a fool to just let it past, so go and get it
No matter near or far, to the moon the stars
I’ll do whatever I need to follow my dream

I gotta dream big
(I gotta dream big)
‘Cause when it happen
It’s gon’ happen real quick

Yes, I feel it, I gotta
I gotta move fast
‘Cause when it happen
I can’t let it go past
(Only get one chance)

I gotta dream big
(I gotta dream big)
‘Cause when it happen
It’s gon’ happen real quick

Yes, I feel it, I gotta
I gotta move fast
‘Cause when it happen
I can’t let it go past
