The sun doesn't shine here anymore

Good morning.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

@ProudDaddyof1 Oh sweetie...you're going to get hurt.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

@LFL_Reborn I HAVE missed it since the original went defunct.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

Wait...@LFL_Reborn is back?!

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

I wish I could get rid of the clouds, and reclaim the sunshine...but it appears it may be gone forever.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

The siren call of competition beckons me back. It has been too long since I have felt the release that only physical competition can give.

Never let them know your next move, never let them know your mind. There is a plan, you will see it when it's been completed.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

Beautiful but dangerous. #TheOleander

Someday I'll be someone's Mrs. Right. Until then, being somebody's Ms. RightNow might not be so bad.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

Have a friend who likes to talk about "keeping it tight." Hope she approves 🤣

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

Someday... if want to be someone's first choice, the reason their heart beats, the one they can't get out of their head.

Self-love is the most important kind of love.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

She has taught me that the sun doesn't always need to shine. She has helped me find myself...to remember who I am, and what I'm capable of. She has reminded me that I am NOT a victim!

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

My, what big eyes you have.

All the better to draw you in with.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

I feel like I've been sleepwalking through life, content to stay in my shellshocked nightmare as I felt sorry for myself. But...I am not an extension of anyone else. How did I allow myself to be defined by him?! How did I forget that I'm a warrior?!

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

Still learning to love myself after you walked away. Still learning to stop hating myself. I'm never blamed you, never hated you. I just assumed I wasn't enough.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

Happy Birthday @ApexGoddess!!!

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

Hello world. Soon, I will reintroduce myself, and we will once again get to know each other.

["The Oleander" Cailey Carter @CaileyCarter]

Perhaps it is time I bring an end to my self-imposed exile, no longer feeling weakness and self-pity as I bloom like the oleander.
