    Giving myself hope, forgiveness, love, attention and affection

    I’m living again, by realizing I have never not mattered. I have just been looking for approval from the world and everyone in it but myself. I needed love, I gave myself that love. I devote time for myself to do what ever I want to do, I don’t hold back on life experiences from ideas of what ifs and stigma. I do what I want and make time for what matters to me. I started living by doing small things and hobbies I have always enjoyed everyday! With positive intentions I am able to reach my goals I set for my days. Seriously acknowledging my own needs and realizing I was not filling my own cup the same way I am filling others- including family- I was feeling very low, tired and empty. I didn’t have interests or energy because I wasn’t receiving anything I was expecting back from the world for giving so much of myself but not too myself! Putting my needs as a priority had really changed my life and those around for the better. I am not only doing good things, I’m doing then happy and I’m doing these things for myself too. Expressing who I am, and what I need by being myself and I truly feel I’m getting into the groove of living, but not again though.. because I never stopped just lived and experienced a life lesson.

    I worked my way through graduate school, taught in the inner city for seven consecutive years, paid my own bills (car payment, car insurance, utilities, rent, etc.). I wrote and recorded my own folk album, and I had at least three romantic relationships. I proposed to a man I loved and was rejected by him and my best friend, I was accused of intentionally deceiving and “stealing” a man because he was interested in me and not my friend; again, I was rejected. My family was both antagonistic and unsupportive of me. Still I “warrior-ed” on. I did not need the approval of these people to be the person I WANT TO BE. I let it go.
