Ethic 5

by Ashley Antoinette

“She can’t go by herself. Mo won’t make it. You say there’s a God, she won’t make it to Him, without someone to lead her there. If she doesn’t open her eyes, I’ve got to close mine. I’ve got to make sure she gets to God.”

You only mourn the loss of a good man. Losing a nigga that ain’t shit is a win.

You never let another person value you more than you value yourself. People come into our lives and we’re lucky to have them while they choose to stay. We enjoy the time they’re here, but when they leave, they leave, and you must be okay with it being just you again because nothing’s promised. No moment, besides the present, is guaranteed.

We don’t always get the explanations or apologies we deserve. People don’t always love you right. The only thing you can control is how you love yourself. Love you, Morgan. Love yourself hard. Over-love you and don’t apologize for it. That way, when someone is under-loving you, when they’re not serving you, when they’re not giving you the same amount of love you give yourself, you’ll recognize it and stop accepting less than what you’re worth. Cuz you’re worth a lot.”
