If I’m not saying anything, if I’m not posting anything it’s with reason. There’s enough negativity, there’s enough pain all throughout the world. And when I’m not in that space, I don’t bring that to you. Monica also spoke about happiness, social media and being intentional:Įven when I’m striking a pose, I hope that I exude happiness because it’s something that I fight for. I really do believe that so that was one of those moments.” A lot of what I’ve been through is to help other people through. But I’m not going to let that stop me from what I feel like a part of my purpose is. That’s something that I used to do and then I kind of stopped because people can find mess in a message real quick and that’ll turn you off. And it seemed like some people really did, and I have to get back into sharing more like that. And that was what I hoped people would take away from it. Breaking generational curses and not holding onto what wasn’t done, the way we felt like it needed to be. And be better, be better than what you had. It’s freeing for the mind, it’s freeing for the body, it’s freeing for the spirit. It prevents you from lifting yourself higher. When we’re holding on to things, we’re not able to grow.Every time we spread our wings to fly, whatever is holding us is pulling at our ankles. I don’t know who needed to hear that, but I hope that it helped someone because we cannot stay in the same places mentally and expect to grow physically, mentally, or any other way. And I didn’t put it up then and I started not to at all, and it came to me again. It came to me my fourth day, fifth day in the hospital. And so I allow him to love me the way he knows how and a part of what I was saying in the video when I was in the hospital, it came from, I’m not sure why that word was put on my spirit, but I have learned to be obedient in sharing. And I looked at, I know I’ll always love him, but this is how I’m upset about what I feel he didn’t do when I was growing up or getting to this point.But as I grew older and became a parent and also interacting with other parents, I realized some of us aren’t equipped with the same things and some of what I expected of him, he wasn’t capable of. 13 recording records like that so I used my dad as a point of reference because I was not speaking to him at all at the time, per my choice, not his. “Why I Love You So Much,” I’d never been in love with anybody. I’ll take you back to an interesting story just to give you an example of it. Monica spoke about reflection and forgiveness, touching on her recent post on Instagram when she was recovering from surgery in the hospital and the message she had hoped she sent her fans which was to ‘forgive your parents,’ further explaining why her song “Why I Love You So Much” was about her father:
You want them to be able to grow up,” Monica told Mike. And we were bonding and having a good time and ordering room service and making the best of it, but in all truth, you want your space.
Because how do we do this type of job if we don’t have that?.So this house really has been a blessing because that’s a big transition from a two bedroom, and all of us in it. I’m inside with people that I love, that I know love me, but when it comes to the outside, we wanted space.So we moved somewhere everyone could be satisfied.What I realized is I need peace and solace where I live. And for us to be able to, you know, you’re stuck inside, but who you’re stuck inside with determines how well it goes.
“ Once the pandemic hit, we really understood how important it was for us to be together.
