𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 20,2015 - 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞 3 🍨 👫🏽
This day we got ice cream & walked by the water. For V to be a street guy, he had the softest heart. I know not too many people got to experience that side of him but I’m glad I did.
I remember us walking and I got so into the conversation I didn’t realize he stopped walking. When I did I looked back and said “why u stop walking” and he walked up some & replied “ because you aren’t holding my hand” and reached his hand out. I thought that was the cutest moment. Like a scene from a movie. 🥰😂
V knew I had just got out of a relationship but he had no idea what it had done to me. Honestly, no one knew. When you’re beautiful & successful not too many will care about your feelings because in their mind success is the “end all, be all.” I’ve always been very good at hiding my emotions and deep down I was depressed & didn’t feel good about myself at all. I just dressed myself up well to hide it all.
I’m the middle of our walk, he kissed me on my forehead & was able to get the best photo of it. This is also the photo I chose to go on the cover of my book.
I’ve actually added photos I’ve never shared on the internet to the end of my book, 30 Years of Love In 30 Days. 📖 : https://www.jasminbadd.com
Message of The Day: God always sends you who and what you need at the right time. Even if it’s not for a long time, embrace it. It’s either a lesson, blessing or both. 💕
Reflecting on moments like this walk by the water reminds me how sometimes the simplest gestures carry the deepest meaning. Holding hands, sharing a quiet moment, or a forehead kiss can communicate more love and understanding than words ever could. I've noticed that when life challenges us—whether through heartbreak, success pressures, or hidden sadness—connecting with someone who truly sees us can heal in unexpected ways. It's understandable that many hide their emotions behind a polished exterior, especially when surrounded by expectations related to success or beauty. But genuine connection breaks through that facade. From my experience, sharing these vulnerable moments openly, like the author did in her meaningful walk and subsequent book, creates a powerful sense of relief and acceptance. It’s encouraging to remember that blessings or life lessons appear at the right time, even if only briefly, and they shape us. I often find that these personal stories resonate deeply, inspiring me to slow down and appreciate the tenderness in everyday interactions. Whether it’s a partner who softens their rough exterior or finding strength in embracing one’s feelings, these authentic human experiences enrich our lives. If you’re going through similar feelings, remember that true connection and acceptance are possible, and sometimes a simple hand in yours can make all the difference.
