Just came out with this topic in the title because I’m just so tired of going above and beyond and feeling nothing in return and THAT’S the truth. It can be so exhausting, draining and literally feel like you are running into a brick wall. It’s defeating and every time I put my heart out [...]
It seems too good to be true and it feels as though I am living in a dream each day since we have been together. I feel like you deserve a revised version of my last post and a post written to you, Momma, now that we are together at last. 480 days of loving [...]
I'm finally in a place where I feel I can write this letter to myself. I have had this post in draft for over a year and I set a goal for myself to grow strong enough to write this. At some point, I knew I had to write this. I knew in order for [...]
