How I Learned to Never Stop Healing

I wasn’t angry because I was insecure, wasn’t bitter because life was going on without me and wasn’t broken because I lost people along the way. I was angry, bitter, and broken because I thought I had put in enough work to be able to heal quickly and move on. I thought the medicines of forgiveness, faith, and fortitude would have allowed me the ability to self-correct and get over it. I have worked hard over the past decade to ensure I was ok. I knew life would continue to be a teacher and throw test my way but if I had the necessary tools I thought I could navigate easily.

Why I want to be like Lillian

Some of my fondest memories, when I was younger, was sitting on her back porch having great conversation. One thing I love about her (that’s not in the top five) is the fact she never talked at me or down to me. She spoke to me as if I was on her level. She made me believe I had something important to say.

I have something to say!

It feels so good to be back. I understand that I must update you on the going-ons of my life.

Usually, these apologies soften the blow of my “NO!” or uncertainty. This concerns my perfectionism; I want people to genuinely like me. Even when IContinue reading “Stop Apologizing!”

What next?

This is a continuation of a blog post from a few weeks ago, “Diving into the Abyss.” Ok. You dived head-first into the abyss. What Next? This is the question I had after diving headfirst. The experience was better than I could have ever imagined. I got what I was seeking. However, during this process,  Continue reading “What next?”

Diving into the abyss

We have all had those times. Where we imagine how things could be, so we decide to test the waters. We know that one wrong decision could end everything. However, we become so curious that we decide to leap head first into the abyss of uncertainty. Stepping into uncharted territory.   This has happened toContinue reading “Diving into the abyss”
