Not 20 Anymore

A lifetime of growth and transformation lies between these two pictures. The younger woman was trapped in an abusive marriage, standing on the brink of single motherhood with a baby. She battled insomnia, struggled to find her footing, and had yet to experience what real love felt like. The older woman, however, has blossomed. She’s learned to love herself deeply, embraced the power of restful sleep, and found strength in cutting off toxic relationships. She prioritizes her mental health, drinks her water, and walks through life with intention. Now, she’s married to her best friend and living her dream as a published author. I love both versions of her. Life is a journey of becoming and growing in countless ways, and I can truly say I’m happier now than ever before.❤️

... Read moreLife is about evolution, and each of us has our unique journey. The sentiment 'Happier now 24 yrs old vs 51 yrs old' resonates deeply with many, reflecting how experiences shape us. As we edge into our 50s and beyond, we often find clarity and resilience that comes with age. This period can be transformative, filled with opportunities for personal growth and self-love. It’s essential to prioritize mental health and surround ourselves with positivity. Embracing our journey not only enriches our own lives but also resonates with those around us. Learning to cut off toxic relationships, as highlighted in many narratives, is crucial for living a healthy and fulfilling life. Amidst the changes, a supportive partnership can fulfill dreams and contribute to our happiness, helping us navigate life with purpose and joy.

It’s not easy starting over in your mid 40s- there’s ups/downs, but finding myself and all the parts of myself that I had lost, or hidden away has been empowering. I love who I am today & won’t dim my light for anyone ever again. My heart is big, but my spirit—even BIGGER! #selflove #

My post about being zero days sober is still receiving likes, so I thought I’d post an update. It’s been hard. No matter how hard I try, I always end up using again. I found a therapist who also specializes in AODA. We’ve only had one session so far, but she seems great. I’ve been open about my

“I’m not available for negativity anymore.”
I’ve outgrown chaos. I’ve outgrown constant stress. I’ve outgrown people who only show up when it benefits them. I’m protecting my energy now— and that means not everything gets access to me anymore. If it’s not peaceful, respectful, or real… it doesn’t belong in my life. — lifewithgra
