My dear online family, I want to share something very important I have learned from experience. Let me begin by saying I know there are a lot of cliches out there. I get it. I& #39;ve read the hallmark cards, the memes, the quotes; I& #39;ve been there, done that, bought the t-shirt.
So I can assure you what I& #39;m about to say is none of that.What I& #39;m about to say is only from real,raw experience.
In life,you will have exactly 3 types of relationships.The relationship with yourself,the relationship with the Creator,and the relationship with the other creation.
You will also meet all sorts of people in your life. Here& #39;s my secret: the stronger your relationship is with the Creator and yourself, the stronger it can be with the creation.
What does that mean? It means this: Never, ever, ever fake, bend, hide, or photoshop parts of yourself to fit another person& #39;s standard. Never. And if you find yourself having a do this, stop. Just stop.
Have the courage to be real. Honest. Authentic. Vulnerable. And here& #39;s what will happen if you do that: It will serve as a sifter.

It will sift through the people in your life. It will become a cleanser. It will remove the wrong people, and reveal the right ones.
Now, I know. This process isn& #39;t easy. And it isn& #39;t fun. It will require an incredible amount of courage. But most of all, it will require an incredible amount of *trust*.
You must be able to trust in the unseen process. You must be able to trust that, as long as you are sincere with yourself, God, and others, absolutely *anything* you lose, will be replaced with something better, and more real. Remember that.
When you& #39;re real, God surrounds you with real. And nothing less. That& #39;s why He will remove people from your life, sometimes. That& #39;s why He will close doors. That& #39;s why He will put up inpenetratable walls. Don& #39;t ever think it& #39;s to deprive you. No. It isn& #39;t.
Here is what happens if you stick to sincerity and authenticity: God will bring the right people into your life. The ones who accept and love and *cherish* you-- at your core. The whole package. Not some false, fake, perfect image.
What I& #39;m saying isn& #39;t easy. Trust me, I know. And it isn& #39;t fun. Cleaning never is. But, I promise you, it& #39;s necessary.

And it& #39;s worth it.
