10 years can go by so fast, like a thunder bolt flashing from the sky. You would think in that amount of time, you’d have life all figured out, especially at age 27 with four children. Apparently, in life, the decisions you make will affect you in some way or another. It’s like being trapped in a cycle you can never get out of. Putting your blood, sweat, and tears, lord forbid all the time (sigh), just to still be stagnant. What if it’s not you though, but the person you’re with? The lies, the deceit, the embarrassments, cheating, no ambition, nor drive. Then you ask yourself, SELF, where did I go wrong? Why is it taking so long for me to get my back off this wall? FAILURE?! Failure to be able to move on, failure to ever be happy again, failure to ever believe that there is a better side of life. As women, we believe that anyone can change. We put a lot of effort in others and not into ourselves, which causes us to lack that self love we desperately need. We let our minds be manipulated for years by people who we thought loved us purely, genuinely, and unconditionally. When is it time to fight back? To hug ourselves and pick ourselves back up again, and let self know that we will break through that brick wall one day and pray that the other side is greener. Pray that we too shall be happy again, because we have sacrificed so much to get no where. It’s time to let go and choose self first. You got this queen. You’re not alone. Let’s get them back from against those hard, cold, walls. Let choose us.
