I'm ok but my heart is numb
I’m fine but my heart is numb. Sometimes I ask God if He forgot about me. I want to grow old with someone and experience everything love encompasses – I’ve missed out on the first half of my life with a partnership, and I ache to feel supported and loved. I want to laugh until my belly hurts, kiss like tomorrow will never come, dance in the kitchen, and watch the sun rise and set.

Emotional vomit. Content Warning.
Emotional vomit The healthy way of recreating the turmoil going on in my heart, my stomach, my throat, and my head. No one, except these words written, will ever know the exacerbated exhale I will make when my heart emotionally vomits the sadness and anger I feel today. I will not burden my family, friends, or even my fury pup with the pain I have lingering in the pit of my stomach. I will purge these emotions today so tomorrow I can move on, release, and be the strong, independent, fighter that I am.

Open that door and walk through it
Sometimes my only relief when I feel anxious and unsure is to redirect my thoughts like a guillotine. As a woman, I never disregard my gut feelings but sometimes it needs to shut the hell up. I’ve lived a long time, I’ve failed at many things, and for most of it, it was self-inflicted with a spiral of negative thoughts that led to bad reactions. I choose to be confident, know my value, and find a positive outcome to all that worries me. Some may say it’s burying my head in the sand – No! I am going to master getting control, changing this day, and seeing how amazing I am.

She is my friend...
She is my friend… Her presence encompasses the embodiment of confidence, grace, raw emotion, anger, empathy, fierce protector, loyalty, coldness, intelligence, street smart, and complete love to those she trusts. Life has betrayed her in so many ways, but she continues to stand up in the face of all that expected her to fail.

What is it all for, this thing called, life
What is it all for, this thing called life? I'm not different than anyone else that has raised the question in the face of trauma, death, disease, mental illness, abuse, poverty, and war. As age has creeped in, it has not given me clarity. It has provided me with skills for resilience.

You need a partner for the amazing woman you’ve become
You need a partner for the amazing woman you’ve become. You have grown out of the “neediness” stage in life that occurs when you place a higher priority on someone else. That stage when you conform your lifestyle, hobbies, and become available at the drop of a dime to their schedule to win their affection. People sense that needy behavior a mile away! Nope! That time in your life is over, when you sacrificed who you are and kept your mouth shut because losing them felt like your life would end. Good Lord, why would you sell your soul like that anymore? Having someone else control your day, thoughts, and emotions by simply not choosing you – screw that! Choose your own damn self!

So, if you find yourself on those dating apps, stay strong.
I have grown leaps and bounds as a person who was once insecure, lonely, and dependent on others opinion for my worthiness on this earth. I have spent over a decade making mistakes, finding mentors, and investing in my personal growth. Life has knocked me on my ass, or I should say - I let it.

Trauma leaves a chemical mark on a person's genes, which can then be passed down to future generations.
I believe that trauma can be passed down from one generation to another. I think that trauma leaves a chemical mark on a person's genes, which then permeates down to future generations. Does this mean that some of us cannot change? I also believe that we can inherit their resilience, right? I am always a work in progress, present in life, and feeling everything so deeply. In my observation, there are so many people asleep in their lives, just going through the same habitual motions day in and out.

When you finally gain control of your life for the better, everything gets stripped from you.
There is a difference between living and existing. I believe I have been existing most of my life, with moments of living. There are always questions that come across my mind, and many are centered around “why is this happening to me?”

Where did it all go wrong?
Where did it all go wrong? It feels like unfinished business. You ran, you turned your back and left me feeling destroyed holding all the responsibility. I never told you what I should have when we were together. I held it all in. I miss the person I met; the person I knew before our family began. I cannot believe after all the things we have been through; I still dream about what could have been.
