We can only love each other to the
extent our personal demons will allow.
Until we confront them and
cut ties for good, they’ll continue
to disrupt the beauty of us.
Maybe we should just
introduce them to each other…
Maybe they’ll finally heal
and leave us to do the same.

Quotes For The Soul: Traumas
I once had someone tell me
that he couldn’t be with me
because of my past traumas.
Not because I hadn’t processed them
but because I had and chosen to forgive.
He couldn’t bring himself to do the same.
Before then, I had never thought about
the people who’d love me later in life.
That they too would have to process and
forgive the same people who hurt me
before they even knew or loved me.
“We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.” -Brené Brown
Lioness
You are fierce, sis!
Go do that thing.
If anyone tries to stop you,
embed your paws ferociously
and let it ROAR!
Chances
I told you over and over
That once I leave
I’d never come back.
You didn’t believe me
But why would you?
I still gave you so many
chances to make it right.
Sucks that when you finally did
I was no longer in sight.
Quotes for the Soul: Forgiving
De-victimizing ourselves
is an on ongoing process.
We forgive but the fact that
we can’t seem to forget
Starts the process all over again.
But that’s OK…
We owe it to ourselves
to continue the laboring
journey of forgiving.
“It’s not an easy journey to get to a place where you forgive people. But it’s such a powerful place, because it frees you.” -Tyler Perry
