Two months ago I was laying in a hospital bed not sure if I was going to make it to the next day. Today I shuffled two steps without my walker. May not seem like a huge thing to you, but the tears in my momma’s eyes were a big thing to me.
the older you get, the more you choose calm over conflict and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you and your peace becomes your ultimate priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart and soul.
i want a man who surprises me with iced coffee just because, who plays with my hair because he knows that helps me fall asleep, someone who wants to go on random roadtrips, who asks me how my mental health is, who expresses his emotions, and who isn't afraid to show me off
If you feel like you've been through childhood trauma and have a lot of confusing emotions but you don't remember traumatic events...
This might be why:
When I tell you I was settling for men that gossiped about me, used me, and were terrible humans- BELIEVE ME. Now I come home to a man who literally walk to the ends of the earth for me. My heart is thankful and beyond happy.
i’d be lying if i said i didn’t get in my feelings about the way ppl treated me in the past, but i’ve learned it’s life & everybody isn’t me. everybody don’t show the same love I show…& for that i’ll be okay.
