Often feeling my boundaries was selfish and uncaring. At times my boundaries lead to conflict that me apprehensive to set them in the future. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">I would always make myself available even when I wasn't making sure I visited people when I was in town until I realize I was exhausted. Exhausted by always showing up for others when the energy wasn't reciprocated. (More on that in another post)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">I would feel drained for answering the phone late night even though I had a rough day and barely made it through without a break down. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">For so long I've showed up for everyone in my life,</span> <span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">but I had to learn how to show up for myself.</span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Now that I've set some boundaries for myself some people have reacted negatively to them, and I have to make sure their emotion on my boundaries is none of my business. I have to focus on myself and mental health. I remind myself that my boundaries aren't to hurt others but to protect myself. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;">I know setting boundaries is scary but there are many reasons you should set them. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">1. Protecting oneself: Establishing clear boundaries helps to protect oneself from being taken advantage of or mistreated by others. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"">2. Maintaining healthy relationships: Boundaries help to clarify what one accepts and doesn't accept in a relationship, making it easier to maintain healthy relationships with others. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"">3. Building self-esteem: Having and enforcing boundaries can lead to an increase in self-esteem, as it demonstrates that one's needs and values are important and deserve to be respected. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"">4. Reducing stress and anxiety: Clear boundaries can ultimately lead to less stress and anxiety, as they provide structure and order to one's relationships and interactions with others. Overall, boundaries are key to maintaining one's physical and emotional well-being, as well as establishing healthy relationships with others.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji""><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">xoxo </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;">Brittany Morgan</span></p>Brittany Morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916621997157687564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647605342885683235.post-50505346375807751042023-06-26T08:00:00.002-05:002023-06-26T09:25:41.057-05:00Healing the Inner Child: Embracing Self-Love <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our inner child carries the experiences, emotions, and vulnerabilities from our past, shaping our perceptions and influencing our present lives. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Throughout my formative years, I endured the pain of being bullied by peers that looked like me. Their hurtful words and actions targeted me because of my appearance, my interests, and my individuality. I was always either too big or too dark </span></span><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">(to</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"> them). These experiences left me scarred emotionally, doubting my self-worth and questioning whether love from a black man was even possible.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As a fat, dark-skinned black woman, I grew up facing societal pressures that dictated what beauty should look like. These expectations often left me feeling inadequate and hindered the development of my inner </span></span><span style="text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">child.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In a society deeply affected by colorism, dark-skinned black women often face unique challenges and biases that can impact their self-esteem and emotional well-being. Growing up, I carried the weight of societal expectations and negative perceptions about my dark skin and weight, causing wounds to my inner child. The constant struggle for acceptance and affirmation took a toll on my confidence and hindered my ability to embrace love fully.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Over time, I realized that the actions of those who hurt me were not a reflection of my own value as a person. I embarked on a healing journey that involved therapy and self-reflection. It was through this process that I learned to embrace my true self, disregarding the negative opinions that had been imposed on </span></span><span style="text-align: left; white-space-collapse: preserve;">me.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">As I opened my heart to healing, I met a remarkable black man who shattered my preconceived notions about black men. His kindness, understanding, and unwavering support transformed my perspective. He saw beyond the scars I carried, appreciating me for who I truly was. In his love, I discovered the power to reclaim my self-worth and believe in the possibility of being loved unconditionally.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I met my husband, I was met with a love that transcended expectations. He saw beyond the scars of my past and embraced all aspects of who I am, including my wounded inner child. His unwavering acceptance and patience provided a safe space for my inner child to emerge, be acknowledged, and begin the journey of healing.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The love I received from this black man became a catalyst for my empowerment and personal growth. It taught me the importance of forgiveness, both towards those who had hurt me in the past and towards myself. I began to embrace my own worthiness of love, regardless of the color of my skin or the scars I carried.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Finding a partner who loves, accepts, and nurtures my inner child is a transformative experience, particularly as a fat, dark-skinned black woman. My husband's love has played an integral role in my journey of self-acceptance, liberation, and empowerment. Through his unwavering support, he has helped me challenge societal beauty standards, celebrate my authentic self, and embrace love and liberation.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">xoxo</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Brittany Morgan</span></span></p>Brittany Morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916621997157687564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647605342885683235.post-23358325015303481252023-03-31T19:29:00.002-05:002023-03-31T19:31:01.997-05:00Imposter Syndrome While Wedding Planning<p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wedding planning is supposed to be a time of celebration and excitement, but for many brides and grooms, it can also be a time of anxiety and self-doubt. If you're struggling with feelings of imposter syndrome during your engagement, you're not alone.</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Imposter syndrome is the persistent feeling that you're not good enough, despite evidence to the contrary. It can make you feel like a fraud, like you're pretending to be something you're not. And when it comes to wedding planning, imposter syndrome can rear its ugly head in a number of ways.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">For example, you might feel like you don't deserve to have a big, beautiful wedding, especially if you come from humble beginnings or if your budget is tight. Or you might feel like you're not creative enough to plan a unique and memorable event, or that you're not stylish enough to choose the right dress, decor, or color scheme. </span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Whatever the cause, imposter syndrome can take a toll on your mental health and your enjoyment of your engagement. But the good news is that there are strategies you can use to manage imposter syndrome and feel more confident and empowered as you plan your wedding.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Focus on your strengths and accomplishments. Make a list of all the things you're good at and all the things you've achieved in your life so far, and remind yourself that you're capable and competent. Another strategy is to surround yourself with supportive people who believe in you and your ability to plan an amazing wedding. Lean on your friends, family, and wedding vendors for encouragement and guidance.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">It's also important to remember that your wedding doesn't have to be perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect wedding, and the most memorable weddings are often the ones that are unique, personal, and reflective of the couple's personalities and values. So don't compare your wedding to anyone else's, and don't put pressure on yourself to live up to anyone else's expectations.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">If you're struggling with imposter syndrome as you plan your wedding, know that you're not alone. It's normal to feel anxious and self-doubting during this time, but there are strategies you can use to manage these feelings and feel more confident and empowered. Remember to focus on your strengths and accomplishments, surround yourself with supportive people, and embrace the imperfections and uniqueness of your wedding. With these tools in your toolbox, you can overcome imposter syndrome and enjoy your engagement to the fullest.</span></p>Brittany Morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916621997157687564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647605342885683235.post-75271751209989684072023-03-20T17:56:00.000-05:002023-03-20T17:56:01.186-05:00How To Handle One-Sided Friendships<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"> <span face="ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="font-family: inherit;">One-sided friendships can be challenging and unfulfilling for the person who feels like they are doing all the work to maintain the relationship. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It can be frustrating and hurtful when friends only contact you when they need something from you. While it's important to be there for your friends when they need you, it's also important to have balanced and mutually supportive relationships.</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you're feeling used by your friends, it may be helpful to have an honest conversation with them</span> about how you feel. Let them know that you value your friendship, but that you feel like you're only being contacted when they need something. It's possible that they're not aware of how their behavior is affecting you.</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's also important to set boundaries and communicate your own needs. Let your friends know what you need from them in order to feel valued and supported in the friendship. If your friends are unwilling or unable to respect your boundaries and needs, it may be time to reassess the relationship and whether it's worth maintaining.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span><span face="ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"> It can be frustrating and disheartening when one person is putting in all the effort while the other seems disinterested or takes the friendship for granted. However, it's important to remember that people have different personalities, priorities, and communication styles, and some individuals may not be as expressive or proactive in maintaining friendships as others. If you feel like you're in a one-sided friendship, it's important to communicate your feelings and needs to your friend. They may not even realize that they are not putting in as much effort as you are. If they are receptive and willing to work on the friendship, it's worth trying to improve the dynamic. However, if they are not responsive or continue to take the friendship for granted, it may be time to reevaluate whether this friendship is worth investing in. </span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span><span face="ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remember that you deserve to be in healthy, fulfilling friendships where your needs are respected and your friendship is valued for more than just what you can do for others.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;">xoxo</p><p style="text-align: center;">Brittany Morgan</p>Brittany Morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916621997157687564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647605342885683235.post-66936710945226219252023-03-18T13:11:00.001-05:002023-03-18T13:11:33.545-05:00How To Navigate Questions After Getting Engaged <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FfcQoTwgs5YUS5WC-3bp42lSU5zTZAoK_OaoQT113F_F9VXghlSRIbcpjEQsTZUYM0N5opDn7upyEgMANtzBEpukByk2fnDi-rEpDQN7pS3wOhxPi_wOa_bbORsmm1NmoRqkfYZ-P90Bm2LKyfS8WZ3sLMHLWVSDG4qM-7S_gqxjMBxsDVIBVw5N/s1080/Talk%20with%20your%20partner.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0FfcQoTwgs5YUS5WC-3bp42lSU5zTZAoK_OaoQT113F_F9VXghlSRIbcpjEQsTZUYM0N5opDn7upyEgMANtzBEpukByk2fnDi-rEpDQN7pS3wOhxPi_wOa_bbORsmm1NmoRqkfYZ-P90Bm2LKyfS8WZ3sLMHLWVSDG4qM-7S_gqxjMBxsDVIBVw5N/s320/Talk%20with%20your%20partner.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji";">Getting engaged is an exciting time, but it can also come with a lot of questions and attention from family and friends. Here are some tips for handling the many questions: </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji";">1. Talk with your partner: First and foremost, communicate with your partner about how you want to handle questions and attention from others. Determine what you want to share with friends and family and what you would like to keep private. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji";">2.

Be selective with who you share with: You are not obligated to tell everyone about your engagement.

My mental hasn’t been in the best of places and I usually just keep it to myself but this time I decided to reach out and hopefully have someone to finally listen. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span data-keep-original-tag="false" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;" face="inherit"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Big mistake! </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span data-keep-original-tag="false" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;" face="inherit"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first person I talked to face to face. It felt good to finally vent let out the emotions I kept bottled in tears started flowing out, but then I looked up. That person looked at me no emotions and just replied “ Ok”. I just sat there and finally opened. And the one person I thought would listen didn’t care. I just quickly dried my tears and walked away. But I didn’t give up I’m like some one has to listen right. I just wanted someone to tell how I was feeling was normal. So I waited a bit longer to build up the courage to try again. </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span data-keep-original-tag="false" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;" face="inherit"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Epic Fail! </span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"><span data-keep-original-tag="false" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit;" face="inherit"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I decided this time I’ll do it by text this time because face to face wasn’t an option.

I had only seen this place in pictures, it’s gorgeous. After finally getting checked in we made it up to our rooms. Beautiful rooms but we was slightly disappointed. We had asked for adjoining rooms <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>but after getting upstairs we quickly realized that not what we reserved. ( Owell first world problems) After freshening up we hit the strip for a quick bite to eat. We ended up <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>taking longer than expected and had to hurry back to the room to meet my friend/ trip roommate to let her in.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 21.9px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">My friend and I went it went our room and quickly met with the group. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>While in the hallway we exchanged pleasantries with the housekeeper, she asked if we needed anything and we told her we had just got there and we was fine and thanked her. As we continued our conversation , my friend and I mentioned how our hotel door took forever to close. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Most doors close instantly but I could walk to the other side of the room and the door would still be cracked. And that’s when the housekeeper spoke up again. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">She informed us that we should ask for new rooms</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Not even 24 hours before we arrived two women had been robbed in the room across the hall. They had been having door issues like us. The women had went out for a day on the strip and came back to nothing. They had got into their <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>room and took everything. They even found the car in the parking garage and took the car too.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">We all instantly had a pit in our stomachs. We thanked her and went directly downstairs and asked <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>for new rooms. After a couple of exchanges with the manager and a few food vouchers later we had <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>new rooms. The new rooms were perfect, adjoining rooms and my brother’s room had a great view. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Though I never saw the housekeeper again I still think about what she did for us.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 18.4px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 18.36px;">Most people don’t speak up and it could truly change people lives.

font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">November of 2020 I got my second baby</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;"><span class="mceItemHidden" data-mce-bogus="1">My brother wanted a dog of his own since Nola had quickly attached to me</span></p><p style="background-color: white;

text-align: center;">It feels good to say I am a full-blogger now</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Sorry for the lack of content but get ready for multiple post a week</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Currently the schedule will be Monday,Wednesday,Friday and an occasionally Saturday</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I have a few series planned for the year and a few post I wrote that I still want to share </p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I definitely need to catch your all up </p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I no longer work in hell</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">My employment there ended due to having my second job but it was the best feeling ever</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Weeks before being fired I was constantly getting sick mentally and physically,That place was draining me </p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">That job took so much out of me so when the store manager called me in her office to end my employment, a weight literally lifted off my shoulders</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I couldn't help but smile, I was finally free</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Free from the toxic work enviroment </p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Free from the mistreatment </p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Free from the stress</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">For months going to work was a chore</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I would find myself having panic attacks the minute my alarm would go off for work </p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">That place was literal hell on earth</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I'm sure til this day the manager thought I was crazy because I happily handed them my work items and left smile and for once felt some peace</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">You shouldn't have cry your whole drive to work</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I would throw up on a daily basis before work because of the stress</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I'm thankful to no longer be in the enviroment</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I still do have a job but it allows me the freedom to write more and focus on my dreams</p><p style="background-color: white;

font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Dating is GHETTO</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Dating in the era of hook up culture is not for me </p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I feel like im either meeting people who barely wants to know my name and only wants to fuck </p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">Or someone who wants a relationship after saying "Hello"</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">I've kissed my fair share of frogs but one has turned into a prince</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">No, I'm not in a relationship but I like him and he likes me, were happy</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;

My hair has always been falling out dry, brittle nothing seemed to work until I started using <a href="https://edgenaturale.com">Edge Naturale</a>. A huge spot in my head that is usually mostly bald has started to grow back all thanks to Edge Naturale Follicle Enhancer. Using <a href="https://edgenaturale.com" target="_blank">Edge Naturale</a> has been a big game changer for me. I love that it is a one product systems which is great when you alway on the go it definitely helps cut down my hair day time. I always found myself using 6 or 7 product on my patches with hope of them growing back. ( they never worked) . I feel comfortable knowing the ingredients in <a href="https://edgenaturale.com" target="_blank">Edge Naturale</a><span class="mceItemHidden"> are safe and I know actually what I’m using. Recently I decided to cut my hair off, so all my hair is the same length of my patches so it all can grow together. I'm excited to see this product work on my hair. I usually don't like scented products but im in love with the peppermint scent that stands out and the tingling sensation feels great on my scalp.Edge Naturale has a great system for their long time user if you decide to pick the subscription you'll get 20% off, that's an amazing deal. Choosing to accept Edge Naturale was the best decision I've made. When I first got the email I went straight to their social media and seeing nothing but all shades of women that look like me I knew I had to take this opportunity. I'm grateful to </span><a href="https://edgenaturale.com" target="_blank">Edge Naturale</a> for giving me the opportunity to try their product and I look forward to working with them in the future</span><span data-mce-style="caret-color: #222222; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">.</span></p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></span><br style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /></div>Brittany Morganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11916621997157687564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647605342885683235.post-87954825440055313752021-01-02T08:00:00.002-06:002021-01-02T08:00:03.953-06:00Year Of Me: Healing From A Bad Friendship<p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Last year I spent most of the year focused on others </p><p style="font-size: 16px;">I spent way too much of my time worried about a friendship when I should have thought about myself.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span class="gmail-mceItemHidden">I learned to be my own best friend. That situation brought up so many issues that I had that I needed to work on.</span></p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span class="gmail-mceItemHidden">I know I'm a damn good friend in the future when I feel like someone no longer wants me around I need to be at peace and let them go </span></p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I was so worried about her not including me in her life and feeling abandon that I lost track of what was really important MYSELF</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I don't blame her for everything that happened between us</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I should have communicated on how I was feeling instead of lashing out on twitter. </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I should have set more boundaries with her</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I was there even when I shouldn't have</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">One night I asked her to hang out but she told me she just wanted to chill at home which was cool because I have those days as well </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span class="gmail-mceItemHidden">But later that evening I got a call asking to walk her dog because she was called into work.</span></p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Confused on why she couldn't walk her own dog I found out she went out with her other friends</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">The petty in me wanted to say no and tell her to ask one of the people she was with to walk her dog but I wanted to see her pup because at that point I hadn't seen her in weeks.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">That happened so many times I would want to do something but she would say she was too tired and wanted to stay home but then turn up in my complex with her other friend</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">That shit hurt</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I also learned that I need to express to people what I need in a friend.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span class="gmail-mceItemHidden">I can't be the only one planning outings and when we hang out. </span></p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">That was definitely our issue</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I was always asking to hang out, always planning things</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">And when I stopped our friendship did as well</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I heard from her less and less </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I felt like if I wasn't offering a free meal I didn't see her </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I had never felt broken from a friendship</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I felt like I gave so much of myself and it wasn't appreciated</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I had to remind myself to put me first and not care what others do</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Though since then my friend and I have worked on a better friendship I definitely look at things differently and learned so much from that process.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I learned that it's ok to say no.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.027); caret-color: rgb(217, 217, 217); text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I often overplay my position in people’s lives</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.027); caret-color: rgb(217, 217, 217); text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I used to think it was because I had such a big giving heart, but now I’m understanding I lack boundaries</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.027); caret-color: rgb(217, 217, 217); text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I’m always going above and beyond for those I love and when it’s not returned I find myself in my feelings</span></span></p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I don't have to alway be there and do things for people when it draining to me mentally and physically</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I realize I give way too much of my time and energy </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">I've always been the one to help even when I don't want to but I always show up with a smile on my face and do it anyways.</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Even though I was still in the thick of my pain I still helped organize a birthday party and big zoom gathering for her </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">And the crazy thing is the friend she was always with ( the one she basically dropped me for) originally was going to plan something for her birthday but of course she didn't</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">As an outsider to that friendship I noticed the other girl really didn't care about her</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">It was definitely a one-sided friendship with them but my friend didn't see it </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">My friend took her on a Law school visit with her and she thought getting high was the right thing to do basically turning it into a party for herself </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">That situation hurt me so much because I was the one helping her study for her LSAT and giving her the practice test</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">We had always talked about me going with her and when the time came around I wasn't even a thought</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Sitting her now in January we are friends</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">How? I don't know?</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span class="gmail-mceItemHidden">Covid?</span></p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Her "friend" dropping her like a bad habit?</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Who knows!</p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">It must have been God because I did not see this friendship lasting past March with the way these were going </p><p style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Am I still mad?

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I'm a giver </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I give my time, my space, my love, my all</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
Lately I haven't been appreciated by some of the people in my life</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I go out my way for others and give them everything at all moments </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I realized I need to focus on myself, growth and peace </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
This year has taught me so much and its only July 1st</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<b><u>The Friendship </u></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I started the year dealing with friendship issues.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">To keep that story short I was dropped like a hot piece of trash.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
Like literally barely any communication, didn't see the person.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I saw her car more than I saw her car than I saw her because her new best friend lived across from me in my apartment complex. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I was already going through hell and for that to happen I spiraled. I took to social media to air out how I was feeling.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">We talked it out I've cried a couple of times not because I was sad but I was frustrated.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">I was pissed.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">I was always there for her and to dropped as if I killed her puppy.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I was falling back to old cold-hearted ways </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
If I can cut my family out of my life I can do the same to anyone. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
Jump to today we've been working on friendship for a few months</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
It's sad because what she kinda did to me is happening with that other friendship but I keep my mouth shut when it comes to that. (not my story to tell)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">She moves to the south soon and asked me to help and the giver in my want to be there and help her get her new place set up but there is still too much hurt for me to fall back into that role.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
Doesn't mean I don't love her or that I'm mad at her I just can't. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
It sucks she's moving in few weeks but I think if we both continue the communication we'll be good. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<b><u>The Ex</u></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
My ex reached out to me in February</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I didn't see the message til mid March </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I stupidly let him back in and nothing really changed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
Communication sucked</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I wasn't a priority and as quickly as he came back </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I quickly let him go</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<b><u>My Mental Health</u></b> </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I have my good days and my bad days. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I need to do better with taking my anti-depressant but I'm in a better place than I was in February.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
February I was in one of the darkest places in a long time. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I felt so alone.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I felt abandon. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I felt broken.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
Thanks to God and my therapist I'm doing so much better.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<b><u>Makeup And Dress Down</u></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">A few months ago I teased at a new blog and instagram and I wasn't mentally ready for them. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
But by the end of July you will see some content on both</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<span class="mceItemHidden">It feels so good to be back.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
Sorry if this post is all over the place.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
I'm back and I'm better </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
And in the words of Megan Thee Stallion </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
"Im that bitch"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
"Been that bitch"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
"Still that bitch"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
"And will forver be that bitch</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">

<span class="s2">Going down two pant sizes already in 2020 has been a great feeling. My body is feeling better and working out has been a great way to let out my frustrations. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span class="s2">Opening up to people don’t come easy</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span class="s2">I’ve been like this since I was younger. I use to express myself only to be made fun of or for someone to use my words against me later. So I put a wall. I only let people close enough but I couldn’t break down that wall. That wall has been my comfort blanket for year. Over the past few years I’ve let a few people in past the wall, but for my protect there was another wall after that one. I know some people are hurt at times by my walls but it’s hard to let people. Losing people is one of my biggest fear and if I let someone in and they leave. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span class="s2">For months I’ve been pushing people away because I’ve been feeling unwanted and like burden. Instead of taking about how I felt , i took a step back to see who would reach out. I felt like everyone was moving on in their lives without me which made me spiral. I went to my online therapist, Twitter to air how I was feeling. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Which only pushed people further away. I felt so alone. In this bubble called life with no one. So many nights I cried myself to sleep wondering what I could do to get back to happy self. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span class="s2">I eventually reached out to a friend to express how I’ve been feeling and she told me things that hurt her as well. It felt so good to let out those emotions in hopes of fixing a broken relationship that I’ve injured. Realizing that my toxic traits has affected someone else really opened my eyes </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
<span class="s2">I’m still working on pulling myself out of this dark place but at least I can admit to myself that I’m there working on climbing out. </span></div>

<span data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;" face="inherit" size="3" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">This decade was rough.</span></span></h1>
<h1 style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">From my mother being diagnosed with breast cancer(2010) to her passing a few years later ( April 2013). To having to move into my aunt's house right after my mother’s passing. Then getting kicked out 7 months while still getting back on track. Moving in with my pastor , which was an amazing blessing. Then finally seeing a small light at the end of my tunnel I got my apartment. I thought things was finally working out for me. Then July 2014 my father passed away. I used my last bit of money to pay my uncle to take me to Georgia for his funeral (and 4 hours after the funeral he said we had to go back to Illinois, I wasn’t even in Georgia for 24 hours). That’s a whole other story, maybe one day I’ll tell it. After getting back from Georgia I felt things was getting worst everyday. The job I had lined up was no longer available to me. How could I pay rent? Pay utilities? Or eat? My savings was getting lower and lower, I had to start selling things to pay the rent. My Aunt and two cousins moved into my one bedroom apartment that I shared with my brother. And my anxiety and depression was at its highest point. I was applying to jobs like crazy but still no luck. All I asked my aunt to do was provide food for the home and you would’ve thought I asked her to pay all bills. So she bought groceries once and then after only bought her and children take out. I was livid, I was selling all my things to pay every bill and she couldn’t even pay for food. I would’ve been happy with </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">ramen</span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> but I guess that was too much. After venting to my friend for weeks about what I was going through shit hit the fan. She told my aunt about how I was feeling and my aunt felt attacked. Words was exchanged and they ended up moving out that night. She moved in with her sister ( my aunt) who had 5 bedroom house 5 minutes away. </span></span></h1>
<h1 style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I was now all alone because by this time my brother was back at his university. I was at the darkest place of my life, I had no family it was just me in this apartment I could no longer afford. If it wasn’t for my best friend having her aunt to hire me for random jobs she needed done I would have starved. I made $60 last for a month of groceries. I had a car but I couldn’t afford the gas to put in it. My amazing friend Jamie would pick me up every Sunday for church and would take me to the dollar tree, </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Aldi</span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> and </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Wal</span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">-Mart to get my groceries for the week. God blessed me with some amazing Angels without them I honestly think I would be dead now. Thinking back on the apartment and what I was mentally going through I am surprised didn’t commit suicide. God got me through some really dark days. Some days I would just lay there become I felt defeated, I would look out the window watching the day go back , sunrise to sunset. Of course I got evicted, thankfully my church paid for a few months of a storage unit and a train ride to move to the town my brother lived in. After getting here I got a job and have worked there ever since. As much as my job gets on my nerves it has been a major blessing.</span></span></h1>
<h1 style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> I lost ones the loved the most ( my mama, daddy, granny and two friends in 2019). I was at my lowest moments of my life. Now I’ve gained new friendship, traveled, new experiences and love. I’ve grown so much from the hard times ( and I didn’t even tell it all). I’ve grown so much closer to God. I am nothing without him. I know I have a bigger purpose in life because I am still here. I’m excited to see what God has I store for me this new decade.</span></span></h1>

2019 has been a major healing year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
I felt myself potentially going down the rabbit hole again. I was toxic to myself and allowing toxic people to affect my life. At end of 2018 I cut ties with the only man I’ve ever loved. On the outside I looked like this strong independent woman but on the inside I was broken. I gained so much weight and was secretly drinking a lot. I felt alone even when surrounded by others.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
I keep a lot to myself because I truly hate venting to friends. Too many times I’ve vented and felt regret instantly. Some may think I’m closed off but I’ve been burned too many times after telling someone my business. I’ve had “family” throw things in my face after telling them how I felt about something. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
I noticed I didn’t know how to let out my feelings.For the longest I would hold things in until I couldn’t anymore and ended up lashing out at people. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
My life saver came to me in August, Nola. Nola is a beagle / lab mix I adopted from a local rescue. I instantly feel in love with her. Nola first day home she went straight to her bed and laid down, I couldn’t help it I cried. I finally was feeling pure joy and happiness for the first time in a while but that moment went away once I got laughed at by the ones around me for showing my emotions. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
In August I also started therapy, something I haven’t done since my freshman year of college (2008). Therapy has been a major life saver for me. I’m no where near fully healed but I’m on the right path. I’m processing things I would normally put into a little box. I’ve also started taking anti-depressant, something I always told myself I would never do. I thought I could pray the depression and anxiety away when God was actually leading me to something that can help. I’m in a better place than I was January 1st and I thank God for that daily. 2020 I see more healing, growth, love and peace.</div>

Last year I waited too late to post my wish list for my birthday and Christmas, this year I decided to be more proactive and post my list a month early</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Year 30 will be full of Self-care, self- love and growing closer to God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have many things I want to carry out in year 30</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
MY BIRTHDAY WISH LIST </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <a href="https://biblesxcoffee.com/collections/bibles/products/marble-esv-journaling-bible" target="_blank">A Journal Bible </a>with the matching <a href="https://biblesxcoffee.com/collections/bibletabs/products/marble-bible-tabs-1" target="_blank">tabs</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My current bible was gifted to me by my grandmother with lessons geared towards a young girl, its time for a slight upgrade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Gift-Cards </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
People think gift card are a lazy gift but i personally love them. Sometimes there are things I want but I talk myself out of it due to cost or need. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( Torrid, Ulta, Lane Bryant, Sephora, Etsy,Target, Hobby Lobby,Michael's)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/fall-trends-box-P448116?icid2=products%20grid:p448116" target="_blank">Sephora's Fragrance Launches of 2019 Set</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of my favorite things that sephora does. You get a box of fragrance samples to see which one you like the best. After you pick one there is a certificate in the box to return and you pick up the full size bottle </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. A Self-Care Box</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A care package with face mask, candles, wine, candy, movies and etc would be nice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Makeup-Face-Charts-Portfolio-Professional/dp/1792765878/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=makeup+chart+sheets&qid=1568145864&s=gateway&sr=8-2" target="_blank">Makeup Face Charts</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need to practice more looks and the makeup charts would help</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kept my list short and simple</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not expecting my friends to get me everything but I love to give options</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
