I'm happy you doing good Mya

Aaliyah would have been very proud of you because you and Aaliyah was very close friends I'm happy that you left the music industry after Aaliyah passed away after what I told you you don't need to stay in the music industry no longer because these people would take advantage of your talent your voice your body your heart your mind your spirit and I'm happy that you broke free of that system because that system has taken so many people out that stayed in it a lot longer and you was the one that succeeded the most you was always a good friend when it came down to Aaliyah you had no type of favoritism towards nobody 50 cent back then used to help you in the 2000s you had a lot of great support systems around you men that was not taking advantage of you I'm happy you didn't end up like Alicia keys being a puppet that's not a good way to go out or do Clyde Davis dirty work be blessed Maya Aaliyah is watching over you from the heavens because you was a good person

... Read moreHaving closely followed stories of artists like Mya who chose to step away from the often harsh demands of the music industry, I truly understand the courage it takes to prioritize one’s well-being over fame. The industry is notorious for draining the spirit, voice, and individuality of many promising talents, often pressuring them to conform or be exploited. Mya's decision to leave after the tragic loss of Aaliyah speaks volumes about her strength and awareness. Many artists struggle to break free because the support systems aren't always there or they fear losing their platform. However, Mya’s experience highlights the importance of having trusted allies—like the support she received from figures such as 50 Cent during the 2000s—who respect and uplift rather than take advantage. It is refreshing to see that Mya avoided the pitfalls that have ensnared other musicians, often being used as 'puppets' to serve the interests of others rather than their own passion and creativity. Her story reminds us how vital it is to protect one’s heart, mind, and spirit in the entertainment world. For fans and aspiring artists, Mya’s journey serves as a powerful example of self-respect, loyalty to friends like Aaliyah, and the pursuit of authenticity. Ultimately, the legacy of Aaliyah watching over Mya symbolizes the deeper bonds that go beyond the stage and music. It’s a testament to friendship, resilience, and the importance of choosing one’s path, even if it means stepping away from the spotlight. For anyone navigating the complexities of creative industries, Mya’s experience encourages us to prioritize our well-being and to surround ourselves with genuine support.

Positive Energy ☀️It’s Not Just “Good Vibes Only” ✨
Let’s get something straight-positive energy isn’t about faking happiness or living by “good vibes only” mantras. Life gets messy, heavy, and feels like anything but positive sometimes. You’re not broken for feeling that way. The RAW truth? Positive energy is about honoring all your emotions

Things I'm Doing to get Back On Track After Vacay🏃🏻‍♀️
12k Steps A Day🏃🏻‍♀️: This used to be 10k steps, but as I just came back from Japan, I realized how easily I would surprise 15k steps a day and how normal it is to do that in many other places in the world. That gave me not only motivation but a reason to not have an excuse on not hitting 10k steps
