We’re all okay

I’m damaged goods, I’m complicated. Thank god my someone is you 🖤

2025/1/26 Edited to

... Read moreYou know, life has a funny way of throwing curveballs. I've always been pretty open about my journey, the ups and downs, and yeah, feeling a bit like 'damaged goods' sometimes. It's not always easy to put yourself out there, especially when you carry your past with you. But then, something truly beautiful happens – you find your 'someone.' That one person who sees beyond the complications, embraces every part of you, and makes you feel like the luckiest person alive. For me, that 'someone' is my incredible partner. She's not just a partner; she's my rock, my confidante, and the reason I can truly say, 'Thank God my someone is you.' Our story isn't a fairytale, but it's real, filled with laughter, challenges, and an unwavering support that I wouldn't trade for anything. She's taught me so much about patience, acceptance, and how to love fiercely. People often ask about my partner, and while I keep some aspects of our life private, I want to share that her presence has transformed my world. She's the calm in my storm, the quiet strength that empowers me daily. And then there's the question of family – specifically, kids. It’s a journey many of us navigate, and for us, our family life is a treasured part of who we are. The pitter-patter of little feet, the unexpected questions, the endless energy – it's a different kind of love, one that expands your heart in ways you never thought possible. Each day is an adventure, learning and growing together. Building a family has added so much richness and purpose to my life, showing me a depth of love I never knew existed. It’s truly a blessing to witness their growth and share in their world. Speaking of roots, I often get asked, 'Where are you from?' It’s a question that always makes me smile, thinking about the journey that led me here. My background is a blend of experiences that have definitely shaped who I am today – from the places I’ve lived to the people I’ve met. Growing up, I developed a strong sense of self, which you might even see in my personal style – like the tattoos that tell a story on my arms, or the silver chain and bracelet I often wear. These aren't just accessories; they're part of my identity, reflecting the path I've walked. My roots instilled in me a resilience and a passion for life that I carry with me every day, influencing everything from my outlook to how I express myself. It’s all part of the unique tapestry that makes me, me. So, while life might always be a little complicated, knowing I have my 'someone' by my side, and a family that brings so much joy, makes every moment worth it. It’s about embracing who you are, loving who you're with, and cherishing the journey, wherever you call home.

Is it okay to ask God why?
I had read a devotion about asking why and I decided to share my view about it. I hope this helps anyone who may be questioning about certain things in their lives. Remember that Jesus loves us all, and He knows what we need and what we don't. Keep your faith and trust in Him always. 🩷

Loving yourself: we all have good and bad days
Sometimes I feel like I love myself only when it’s convenient. If that makes sense. Like if I wake up early, eat well, and exercise I love myself very much. But when I have days I don’t want to do anything and lay in bed all day I hate myself. Don’t do this. Loving yourself is a daily thing, no
