I WROTE THIS EXACTLY A YEAR AFTER MY SEPERATION - IT’S ONE YEAR. JULY 16 2021

-

It’s been one year
One year today
One year of joy
One year of love
One year of peace
One year of growth
One year of beauty
One year of healing
One year of loving me
One year of learning and unlearning
One year of freedom from my abuser

I thought the journey would be tougher
Oh it got tough sometimes
But it’s been a worthy tough one
I love the process

I’m glad I’ve been burnt out
And the gold in me shines forth
I’m the prize. I’m the real deal
I know never to settle for less

I’m glad I’m stronger
I’m glad I’m wiser
I’m glad I’m better
I’m glad I’m more beautiful

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOURSELF?

I had my standards and few rules...Oh yes I did.  But I heard this doctrine from a church that taught 'don't judge a man based on all you see today.  Always trust God and see his prospects'.  That was the message. Do not get me wrong.  Ain't nothing wrong with being with a struggling man and encourage him. But you see those standards you've had even before dating; they were there for a reason.  Do not despise them. Those "i's" that need to be doted and "t's" that need to be crossed should be attended to. Any relationship that requires you to lose yourself for your partner to find himself or herself is toxic. The society is highly fixated on teaching that satisfaction in life is dependent on 'that other person'.  We are not taught to stand up for ourselves, say no to being treated unfairly or walking away heads up from abuse.  I look forward to a new narrative where men and women would stand up for themselves, stand up for the trut...
