The Black Princess Diaries Deandra James

Sometimes we find ourselves in a mood where we don't feel like it. No matter what "it" is, it's okay to feel that way. No one can ever judge you for wanting to take a break. It's okay to take care of yourself and put that thing on the backburner for a moment...it'll still be there tomorrow.

Trying to stand out in a niche saturated with different people is hard. The good news is that everyone is just that...different! You don't have to try and become like someone else in hopes of obtaining the success that they have. Being your unique self is what will drive the people towards you!

The phrase "pressure turns you into diamonds" seems nice in hindsight, but how true is it really when it comes to you? The truth is, trying to handle more than you can bear won't turn you into a diamond. It's how you choose to (or not to) care for yourself during it all.

Thirty is vastly approaching for Deandra and she's trying to get her life together! Growing up, many of us thought that our thirties would be the prime adult age and we would have our entire lives together. That may be true for some, but changes happen throughout our entire lives and we need to release those expectations society expects us to have by thirty. We're all doing our best to be our best selves and that's good enough.

Deandra celebrated the sixth anniversary of The Black Princess Diaries blog. With no plans of taking TBPD as far as it has gotten, she realized how unexpected many of our destinations can be. Sometimes we know where we want to go, but end up somewhere completely different. Sometimes we have no idea where we're going, but end up in places we could never imagine. The best part is finding out when we get there.

In this world, a lot is often expected of us, and even more so from the people we are close to. Holding the weight of those expectations can get heavy. At some point, we must realize that the only expectations that matter are the ones we have for ourselves.
