Sow

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Expectations will pull at your

sides. Wait. They’ll soon get tired. Hold

fast to what you know, whether it’s a little

or nothing at all. They’ll let go. They will, so

hold on to the pieces you own. Go. Walk

towards truth you’ll want to sow.

    True about expectations… The ones that never fade though are the ones created by others ☺️

    Sometimes when we work too hard, to fulfill other people’s expectations of who we ought to be, we end up losing the “me” in the process…
