Farewell to Mediocre Me

I can think of a million tiny, and not-so-tiny, ways I've abandoned, betrayed, and let myself down in the past. In fact, I find myself haunted by them; especially when I'm in a season of renewal. Just as I reimagine a better brighter more committed and congruent Sumayah, I am reminded of all of the half-baked, messy, lazy, undisciplined, mediocre, substandard versions of me that I've let hang around for way too long.

I'm beyond done with mediocre me. She's underwhelming. Not to mention a bad influence. I don't like her vibe. It's not the energy I want to be steeped in, her surroundings are an environment that isn't conducive to the changes I am making. So she has to go.
