To be better. To grow further. To overcome the darkness. To overcome trauma. To push a little harder. To start again. To be better than yesterday. To recreate your happiness. To soul search. To gather your strength. To remember the light. To forgive yourself. To forgive othe

Finding myself again after losing every ounce of who I knew myself to be. Internally screaming and drowning Grieving of time lost. Unfortunately remembering All the things I never was okay with. Having vivid flashbacks of things that should’ve never happened. Things that were never

I’m not easy to win over. I stay guarded for the fact of all I’ve been through. But with you it’s different. With you there’s a certain type of safety. A natural level of comfort. I’ve told you the darkest parts of me. The unpleasant baggage I carry with me. And still you don’t run awa

The Lord is my strength. But it also comes from my babies. These 3 are my entire world, Literally my livelihood. In any of my lowest moments, They are what keeps me going. Their happiness is my happiness. I will never stop being the best of me Because they deserve it. I’ll hand th

#valentinesday #lemon8contest Chocolate covered strawberries charcuterie board. A regular charcuterie board in the shape of a heart. I’m kidding I’d love the flowers too but it’s actually just the thought that counts. I was with someone for a decade who never liked holidays, romance withi

#appetizer #lemon8challenge Your choice of strawberry or whatever flavor cake mix; 2 eggs and 1 mashed up banana, 1 cup water. Mix well, make sure there are no chunks of banana. Put it in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes and they’ll come out as perfection. If you’d like you can also add 1 cup

God has brought me through the absolute trenches of my life time and time again. I will never be quiet about my love, admiration, appreciation, gratitude and belief in Him. Thank you Lord for waking me up another day to love on my babies and be better for them and You. In Jesus’ name, #Amen 🙏🏼

It’s important to remember that everything Happens for one reason or another. All the hardships we face serve a purpose. The pain helps us to appreciate love more. The tears help us to understand happiness deeper. Life isn’t meant to always be easy or wonderful. We’re meant to he challe

There’s gonna be twists and turns, Bumps along the way. Things we thought we’d never experience. Both good and bad. But let me tell you it all happens for a reason. To mold us and make us stronger. To let us make the choice to use it to grow Or to allow it to break us down. Personal

I won’t change myself for another. I won’t waste my time if the effort isn’t returned. I won’t be someone I am not. When I care, I care deeply. When I love- I love hard. When I pour into someone I give them my all. Life is too short for anyone’s time to be wasted. I’m a simple kinda g

Is that “My Atlas” was never meant to be the one I actually ended up with. It was merely a distraction sent from God to help me have the strength to leave, to busy my mind as God drew me closer. A mere distraction to help me slowly get over my Ryle, and to stay focused on myself and the kids. To he

I’m the kind of person who wears her heart on her sleeve. I’m the kind of person who has been through absolute hell and back more times than anyone can count honestly. I do feel things deeply. I do cry when necessary. But I also have the strength and will of 10 men and I’ll never let anyone convinc

The crazy thing about BPD is the literal shift you can see on the persons face; myself included. Where it’s almost like an emotion itself or a whole complete altered version of yourself tries to take over. It can be momentarily or ongoing depending on the trigger. I’ve experienced it all myself lit

It’s honestly wild how much I always endure. Sometimes my heart breaks. Sometimes it shatters. Sometimes I cry and fall to my knees. Sometimes I scream until my voice cracks. Sometimes questions are unanswered. Sometimes I’m so lost the only hope I’ve got is God. Sometimes I’m so conf

That’s it. Amen. Ultimately we aren’t in control. Nothing is our choice completely. People make choices for us, Sometimes we make our own choices. But at the end of the day it’s all in Gods plan. His will be done not my own. That’s just how it’s gotta be. 🙏🏼

The one whose voice lingers in my head. The one I periodically wonder how your day is. The one I’m thinking about all the time. Because it’s you and I worry about you. Lyrics of any love song make me think of you. Distance means nothing when loyalty runs deep. It’s merely an obstacle in

You’re still the only one I think of. You’re still the only one I wanna hear from. When my phone goes off I excitedly think it’s you. Whether it’s in the middle of the busy day, Or the quiet of the evening, Or in the middle of the night when I wake up- You’re the first and last and only

Right now I’m in a weird state; At peace because I left a situation I needed to. Growing and starting over because I had to. So much better than I was before but not quite Where I’m destined to be yet either. Healing and growing and learning isn’t supposed to Be easy though. That’s the

I used to feel so weak. After so long of hiding parts of me, Having to change so much about myself To still end up losing myself trying too hard to stay. He wasn’t my person. At least not my forever. He was a lesson to be learned and gave me my babies but he wasn’t my forever. I’ve come

No matter how long we have to wait, I’ll wait for you. Because no one else will ever come close To the way you make me feel. To the way I feel about you. Little does anyone realize, Through time and space Divinely I am yours and you are mine. I appreciate you now and always. 🩵🩷
