You don’t want to walk away. How could you?!
How in the hell could you lock a transparent screen door on the person you love the most, as you watch them stand outside?
You don’t want to bury what you spent so much time building. So many prayers you sent into the sky. So many compromises you made to ensure you suppressed your power just enough…
You were only trying to protect your HEART.
You were trying to protect your LOVE.
You want to be heard without getting loud.
You were trying to protect your SANITY.
I hear you.
I feel you.
The worse part about heartbreak for me was facing MYSELF.
Let me tell you something…
I thought the absolute worse I would go through mentally and emotionally was the hell I went through with the father of my children. Two words for our story: Unreciprocated L.O.V.E.
Whew.
Turns out the situation wasn’t so bad after all because I had something to show for my blood, sweat, and tears- my beautiful, intelligent babies.
Listen…
This new age hurt doesn’t require anything or guarantee anything.
Just be careful.
Not too far back in my past, I got my ass handed to me by just being a good woman and believing in an individual more than they believed in themself. My L.O.V.E. was used and abused. I had to fight for my soul back. I was hurt so bad to a point where it changed who I was. I just knew I’d never be the same. ⬅️ I cried for months after that one.
I got over it. Then, true love prevailed in divine timing. The kind of love that makes you realize why nothing else would work could work.
Just continue to see the beauty in the not so beautiful parts of where you are.
Just continue to keep your faith.
Just continue to remain hopeful.
Just continue to LOVE hard.
Just continue to reciprocate good, healthy love.
Just do it…
… because L.O.V.E. conquers ALL things.
Until next Time…
