A Moment...

It always amazes me how far I've come & how far I still have to go. I find myself vacillating between who I want to become & the me I'm still trying to overcome. I know that in the word Jesus says "I have overcome the world, so be of good cheer", but what happens when you still find yourself wrestling with old habits?  You swear one moment I'm done, then the next moment you're right back in that thing... It's not that you didn't mean it the first time, sometimes you find it hard to separate yourself from it; whatever it may be. Im not sure if that's what is considered as a soul tie or what... Sometimes I wish I could just leave it all alone, but there is something there that still calls me... To be honest there is a part of me that still desires, part of me just wants to sit back and look & part of me still see the good in it although there are many bad memories & there's part of me who wonder will it be any good in the long run...

Why do I continue to torment myself? Shouldn't I know better by now? Or is this just something that's part of life that I must learn to grow thru?  That question lingers in my mind. Sometimes I wonder, how could I want it so bad and also be so afraid of it at the same time. I hate that I've been hurt by the bite of a lover... A bite that once felt so good, but only left me wounded in the end... I never knew how wounded I was, until it was time to allow someone else in... there, is where I found the previous bite of love was more than I bargained for... Now I'm left to tend to a wound that won't seem to heal... I put ointment on it & cover it up with a bandaid & every time I think it's healed I uncover it at a time only for the wound to be broken again.

I'm not sure why I think I'm so strong... I often believe that I can bounce back from anything... My heart is so excited to open up to love, the crazy thing is, is that that I'm still attracted to the type of love that continually hurt my heart... Or is it the love of the idea I replay in my mind that hadn't become my reality that hurts so bad? I'm not sure what it is but I do know that I hope to get past this soon... They say it takes one person to ruin a person for good... I'm not sure how true that is, but all I do know is that as much as it hurts to try again, I still want to keep my heart open to prove that a lie. I just have to be more careful to learn how to release the fear and embrace my past, embrace the vulnerability that comes with walking in love and most of all how to guard my heart. Im learning that my heart is too valuable for just anyone to have access to it.

Unbreak My Heart

Although I am writing about myself, I want for my readers to see themselves or someone in a similar situation. Not feel sorry for yourself or them, but to gain some clarity. This make take a moment to read, so kick back and get comfortable for a moment. Right now I'm listening to Un-Break My Heart by Toni Braxton & have the nerve to have it on repeat. I actually really love old 90's hits. That's when real music was in. It’s around 5p so I’m writing in between stops in traffic. For probably the last few years I've been beating myself up over this simple yet burdensome stumbling block. Somewhere, sometime ago I lost confidence in myself. I couldn't understand it because although I knew people had an opinion about me, truthfully I didn't care. Like, literally someone could say something out of line to me & I wouldn't notice, because my mind more than likely was on something else anyhow. Somewhere along the way I began to care & I will say that...

Last Night...

I wrote this one evening, mid October...   Last night I had to finally say goodbye to you... Although it's been over a decade since you stepped into my life, making such a fine print on my heart, I've held you in a place where long ago you walked away from. Leaving me wondering, wanting to know why didn't you choose me?   What happened to the smile on your face when you saw me? What happened to the butterflies we felt when we simply thought of one another? Last night, I had to come to the conclusion that we will never be again, & I must be ok with that. No matter how much I see or hope in you. No matter how much potential I see that we have as a believing couple together, I can't make you look at me the way you once did. I had to say to myself that I must be ok that you were allowed to leave & there was nothing I could do about it.   For so long, I allowed the door of my heart to stay open, never closing the door just in case you came back to fin...

Leave It...

“What did you do with all your books?” “I left everything in there. I didn’t want to bring anything from there, here.”   This was a question I asked a friend who was recently released from prison. Funny this piece of our conversation came to mind this morning. You’re getting ready to move from one place to another yet you look at your current space you’ve been residing for so long. You’ve collected so much stuff over the years. Stuff that at one point you needed and held onto so desperately and dared anyone take it from you. Some that fed you. Some that depleted you. Some that distracted you. Some that strengthened you. Some things you look at and ask why or where did this come from. Letters, notes, pictures, little nick knacks are everywhere. All this stuff surrounding a current space you’re about to leave for good. What are you going to do with the collection? Do you take it with you or do you leave it all there? Opening your bag, setting it on the bed you laid your head...
