Focus Costs Something ❤️🩹
For the girl who’s tired of being distracted by bare-minimum love
Some women lose focus because life gets hard.
Others lose focus because he texted “wyd” at midnight.
Me? I lost focus because I was loyal to the idea of a man.
I was building a future.
He was just enjoying the ride.
I spent years being “understanding.”
Giving grace where I needed clarity.
Praying for patience when I should’ve packed my bags.
And when I look back, the scariest part isn’t how he treated me.
It’s how I treated me.
How I silenced my own voice just to keep hearing his.
But here’s what I know now:
🛑 Every time I gave a man my focus, I gave him access to my peace.
🛑 Every time I made space for confusion, I moved further from clarity.
🛑 Every time I tried to prove my worth to someone who wasn’t choosing me—I delayed my own becoming.
Focus is a form of self-love.
And focus will cost you something:
The distraction. The fantasy. The “what if.”
But what you gain in return?
Is you.
Fallin’ for the Fame — When Obsession Feels Like Loyalty
Sam swore she was in love with Justin.
But for three years, she’s been secretly DMing Legend Blake.
Not cheating. Not technically.
But enough to split her focus.
Enough to keep one eye on the fantasy while living halfway in her reality.
By the time she breaks up with Justin and drives to LA, she thinks she’s finally free to live her dream.
But baby, she’s still distracted.
Because now she’s in Legend’s orbit—his career, his ex, his chaos.
And the girl who used to dream in private?
Is now tangled up in a world where nothing is real but the attention.
Sam isn’t choosing herself.
She’s choosing proximity.
To fame. To validation. To the kind of messy love that always leaves you questioning your worth.
But focus?
That’s what she’s gotta fight for.
Not on a red carpet. Not in Legend’s bed.
But in the quiet moments when no one’s clapping—and she still chooses herself.
Refocus: For the Girl Who Keeps Looking Back
I used to think my attention was harmless.
That a few DMs, a few excuses, a few “he’s just going through something” moments didn’t count.
But now I know:
Wherever you focus, you feed.
And you can’t water your purpose while babysitting someone else’s potential.
The next time you feel distracted, ask yourself:
Is this fueling me or draining me?
Do I feel chosen or just convenient?
Am I focused on who I’m becoming—or who I’m afraid to outgrow?
Focus isn’t about hustling harder.
It’s about remembering who you are—and refusing to lose her again.
So let them be confused.
Let them miss you.
Let the noise keep talking.
You?
You’ve got things to build.
A heart to heal.
And a future that deserves your full attention.
Fallin’ for the Fame is a serialized romance about fame, fantasy, and emotional loyalty to someone you’ve never touched.
