What is it all for, this thing called, life
What is it all for, this thing called life? I'm not different than anyone else that has raised the question in the face of trauma, death, disease, mental illness, abuse, poverty, and war. As age has creeped in, it has not given me clarity. It has provided me with skills for resilience.

You need a partner for the amazing woman you’ve become
You need a partner for the amazing woman you’ve become. You have grown out of the “neediness” stage in life that occurs when you place a higher priority on someone else. That stage when you conform your lifestyle, hobbies, and become available at the drop of a dime to their schedule to win their affection. People sense that needy behavior a mile away! Nope! That time in your life is over, when you sacrificed who you are and kept your mouth shut because losing them felt like your life would end. Good Lord, why would you sell your soul like that anymore? Having someone else control your day, thoughts, and emotions by simply not choosing you – screw that! Choose your own damn self!

So, if you find yourself on those dating apps, stay strong.
I have grown leaps and bounds as a person who was once insecure, lonely, and dependent on others opinion for my worthiness on this earth. I have spent over a decade making mistakes, finding mentors, and investing in my personal growth. Life has knocked me on my ass, or I should say - I let it.

Trauma leaves a chemical mark on a person's genes, which can then be passed down to future generations.
I believe that trauma can be passed down from one generation to another. I think that trauma leaves a chemical mark on a person's genes, which then permeates down to future generations. Does this mean that some of us cannot change? I also believe that we can inherit their resilience, right? I am always a work in progress, present in life, and feeling everything so deeply. In my observation, there are so many people asleep in their lives, just going through the same habitual motions day in and out.

When you finally gain control of your life for the better, everything gets stripped from you.
There is a difference between living and existing. I believe I have been existing most of my life, with moments of living. There are always questions that come across my mind, and many are centered around “why is this happening to me?”

Where did it all go wrong?
Where did it all go wrong? It feels like unfinished business. You ran, you turned your back and left me feeling destroyed holding all the responsibility. I never told you what I should have when we were together. I held it all in. I miss the person I met; the person I knew before our family began. I cannot believe after all the things we have been through; I still dream about what could have been.

I am allowing myself to be seen, to be vulnerable
Have you reached the pinnacle of your life when you start to ask yourself that hard question, “Am I truly happy?” You have presented yourself one way and now you are trying to convince yourself that there is something more. There is something so uniquely special about you that is different, something you have not tapped into yet. What is it worth to stay the course and take the safe road? Isn’t it worth taking the risk to bring your soul to a different level – to take that leap of faith into the unknown and risk it all?

Do you ever wake up with an anxiety that paralyzes you with fear?
Do you ever wake up with an anxiety that paralyzes you with fear? A feeling that sends your heart racing, and your mind on repetitive thoughts of lack. Somehow, you thought that this morning would be different, you made sure to be grateful before closing your eyes the night before, and did your best to be hopeful. Just like the day before, and the day before that, you are on a merry-go-round of sadness, fear, anxiety, and anger. When will this stop? What more can I do to take action for my happiness?

A special connection from the past
You are thinking about that special connection from the past. He decided to walk away and give up on the relationship. You felt a deep connection to him, and in your gut, you know that he did not walk away because he did not love you. Either way, you are questioning your trajectory and what you should do next. You want to start anew but you are having a hard time doing so. There is a constant background feeling connecting you to him. If you could just turn off those feelings like a switch so you could move forward. There is nothing worse than wanting to move on but feeling stuck.

I’ve grown too strong to take you back
I’ve grown too strong to slip back into the abyss of self-doubt and unworthiness. I’ve taken control of my life to see endless possibilities instead of dead-end roads. I’ve nurtured my soul and found a reason to smile again. I’ve sat in my sadness and learned to overcome the spiraling fears of loneliness. I’ve trained myself to be assertive and no longer be used as a doormat. I’ve learned to embrace the moment instead of being depressed over my past. I’ve let go of people I’ve loved with all my heart to comprehend that I need to love myself more. I’ve taken chances and got out of my comfort zone to see miracles occur before my eyes. I’ve listened to my own gut instead of being persuaded by other people’s beliefs.

Stand in your Greatness, be the Badass Chick that you are
Stop being a doormat to other people because of your insecurities. Start living your life with confidence and being the best version of you to attract the same back to you. You can’t expect to manifest the life or the people you want in your reality by sitting on your bed visualizing and feeling sorry for yourself. Be unapologetically selfish with going after the life you want. If you want results to appear, then you need to take assertive action. You must be willing to change and shift your state of being to derive the life you seek.
