I wonder…

How is it that my lungs still work when at some point I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

How is it that I can still walk when at some point it felt like my legs didn’t work.

To be so blind, yet have all the power to see…

How is it that I have tears left in my body when at some times it felt as if I’ve had no energy left to cry…

Thank God that I wasn’t solely responsible for my beating heart, because it was broken.

Redemption.

I needed another chance.

I realized that I needed another chance to put me first. I needed another chance to focus on my health and the well-being of my children.

It was time that I fought for me, unapologetically.

Love will come and love will go but when it’s real , I’ll know.

So much for the battle of not living, not breathing, not seeing, and not believing.

How did I overlook the fact that I’m worthy of more?

I deserve more than what I’ve experienced… And you do too.

Don’t you dare settle. Until Next Time…
