The Manipulation of Love

Once I realized that my definition of “love” was synonymous with “pain” I knew that I had to re-evaluate and redefine a lot of things.

Metamorphosis

I am in the process of metamorphosis. I am hanging on to what was and hoping to find success in what will be. I am growing each and every day & I am redefining myself with each step.

Two Poems, One Author

Happy Free-Thinking Friday! Be grateful for every aspect of yourself. Your soft and your not so soft. Your strength and your fragility. Your beauty lies in your complexity.

Another Friday

Happy Free-Thinking Friday!! I’m exhausted and hopeful but I’m taking hold of the 24 hours that make today in an effort to make the most of it!

She is…

She is everything she’s ever wanted to be and she is headed towards exactly who she needs to become. She deserves affirmation. Affirm yourself today because you deserve it too.

Grieving

I’m learning to grieve & my humanity shapes my ability to do so. This Free-Thinking Friday post is composed of the words that have been floating in my mind. I hope you can resonate with them.

Untitled Poem-1/12/15

When I was younger, I used to find myself writing beautiful poems about boys who didn’t deserve them. It took me years to realize that I deserved the same amount of energy and attention that I was giving to those who didn’t know how to reciprocate it.

Dear Mom,

An open letter to my first and only role model. I wrote this for no other reason than to express my gratitude for her love for me.

Healing

Healing is a decision. It is an extremely involved and intentional process, but it’s necessary for growth and a healthy life. Decide to heal today, you deserve it.
