The Mixtape

by Brittainy C. Cherry

A piece of advice—find yourself a man who will dance with you even when your heart is broken.”

The ones who doubted their mothering skills were sometimes the ones who were trying their best, day in and day out.

But, I do know that if I had a chance to speak with my brother again, even if we were at odds, I’d take it. Life is short. Each day isn’t promised. So, if there is a chance to fix what’s broken, don’t pass it up.”

‘A slice of cake a day keeps the grumpy away.’”

“At my first meeting with Abigail, she made this analogy about how everyone’s life story is a mixtape, and each track is a chapter of their life.

There’s no wrong way to feel,”

“You probably have no clue what’s happening right now. You probably feel like you’re falling apart, but in truth, this is you falling together, sweetheart. Sometimes, part of the healing journey involves falling apart. That doesn’t make you weak; it makes you strong. So, fall apart tonight, and you’ll be stronger for tomorrow. You’re doing great.”

It doesn’t make you weak to reach out for help. That’s actually what makes you strong.

I’m learning in life that you don’t have to be ready for every situation. You just have to be brave enough to try.

“You should never have to beg for anyone to love you. You should never have to do as they say for them to deem you worthy of their love. That’s not how love works.”
