“Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart, and the senses.”— Lao Tzu
I was deeper in this thing with Adina than I ever should have been. Common sense would have told me to leave it where it stood, but love didn’t work like that.
Call me. I don’t care what time of the day. I don’t care where I am or what I’m doing. You call me when you need me, and I’ll come running every time. You know where you belong, baby. Call me when you want to come home.”
My granny always told me the Lord takes care of babies and fools.
Healing begins with you.”
I was alone… alone with my thoughts and feelings… alone with my shame… just fucking alone.

I know you don’t want to see me. I know you’re embarrassed but I need you to know that I’m here. I see you, Adina. I see you and I love you. Nothing you say or do will ever diminish that. Please be kind to yourself today. You deserve to give yourself grace. The journey ahead is long but the destination will be beautiful.
a man that beats on women is a dead man walking. Sooner or later, he’ll meet his match.”
Sometimes, part of our healing journey must be done alone. No family, no friends, no distractions. Center yourself and find love in you again. Everything else will fall into place.”

“True healing begins in your mind. Give yourself grace because in spite of what you may think, you deserve it.”
I want to be the reason you know what soft love feels like. My love for you is the fiercest thing I’ve ever felt, but I’d give it to you freely and in the most gentle way possible.”
Love is literally two imperfect people figuring out how to be the best they can be for each other. It’s a never-ending process. It’s work. You just have to want it with that person bad enough to work at it every day.
He was the soul tie I never wanted to break.
My parents always told me that there were three sides to the truth.
