I'm grown enough to admit that due to the things I was put through in life, I'm a hard person to deal with sometimes. I overthink, worry, and can be hard to understand. I'm beyond territorial, and require a lot of patience. But I also know that I can love like no other. I can give you the world as mine is falling apart. I'm loyal and my heart is pure. I don't give up on people until I have no choice but to.
Dating is a RISK, y’all. Love is a risk. You can’t let your fear of getting “hurt” or “embarrassed” keep you from fully leaning into all love has to offer you. And you can’t internalize every experience that doesn’t go your way and use it as a data point for not trying again. Be open and be willing.

There is no such thing as other people’s children. Every child is our collective responsibility to protect, guide, and defend. If we stay silent when children suffer, we become part of the problem.
Every freedom you have as a woman was earned through the sacrifice of women who came before you. You didn’t inherit these rights by luck. Someone marched, protested, and paid a price for them.
