i\u2019m saved, i\u2019m the princess of the king of kings! \u00a0all that\u2019s great and i\u2019m truly proud\u2026in addition to all that as i\u2019m steadily approaching 30 in october (the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> to be exact), i\u2019ve finally realized i don\u2019t care what others think about me! i\u2019m a very honest transparent person and i can honestly say i used to care what others thought about me a lot! one example is, when i got married i got pregnant fast really fast a month and a half after i got married i was soooo worried people were going to think i was pregnant before i got married and i got married for that reason which was not true and yes a lot of people thought that. it made me furious! i cared so much when in actuality it was none of their business. \u00a0i know i wasn\u2019t pregnant( it wasn\u2019t possible lol) and if i was so what. i cared about how people perceived me and what they thought about me. i wanted to seem like a good real, which i was but i made sure everyone knew. who caressssssssssss!!!!! i starting realizing this several years back and now i am at the 95% of i don\u2019t care what people think about me meter lol (nobody doesn\u2019t care 100% we are human lol and i do care about what my family and loved ones think but you get what i\u2019m saying). but i truly could care less about the mass majority. i am human i make mistakes; i\u2019m not perfect by a long shot. \u00a0however, i\u2019m okay with being perfectly flawed, learning from my mistakes, apologizing when necessary, standing up for what i believe in, and loving like i\u2019ve never loved before. i don\u2019t need any validation from any human being. this journey in life isn\u2019t to be perfect that\u2019s not possible! however, you should strive to be the best you that you can be! make the right decisions, treat people like you want to be treated, bring people to christ, love everyone even your enemies (god will handle them). life is not as complicated as we sometimes make it. it actually can be quite simple. we have a choice in everything. we choose to care what others think about us, we choose to make good or bad decisions. we choose to lie or tell the truth. we choose to be happy or sad. we have the power! now of course there are a lot of things in life that are beyond our control, well i\u2019m not talking about those things! my granny, mother and auntie always told me this and it took me a while to get it, so now i got it! =) and it\u2019s quite wonderful, i feel free! a lot of people will read this is say oh i never cared what people thought about me sure sweetie and if it\u2019s true good for you. i\u2019m just happy i\u2019m free from caring and i want to encourage others who care to not care as much. i\u2019m just trying to live for christ, be pleasing to the lord, do right by my daughter and family and be happy!<\/p>\n<p>xoxoxo yours truly,<\/p>\n<p>thee\u2019 one and only chonita nicole<\/p>\n<p>sending love, peace and positivity your way!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>you know i turn 30 this year and i look over my life and i\u2019m proud of myself for many reasons. i\u2019m a mother of the beautiful intelligent madison rose. i\u2019m married. i have my master\u2019s degree. i started my own business(es) (shout out to my business partner). i have the best family ever!
