Better Late Than Never!

I'm not gonna lie... I missed talking to you guys.

Welcome back!! It's really been a minute.. 3 months flew by so fast though. April was the last month I posted and I swear that shit feels like yesterday. I needed to take some time off from posting to continue healing and getting my mind right. I can't preach about taking the time to heal if I'm not doing it myself, so here we are.

It's crazy how time works honestly, a lot can happen in 3 months..

Let me tell you what's been up since we last spoke..

I loved, I lost, traveled, raised a puppy (whose the sweetest baby boy ever! btw), fell in love, created stronger bonds, cut some off & counted my many blessings.

Let's start with what I've lost.

I won't dwell on it too long because whatever I lost, was never mine.

Of course you guys already know I was dating a young woman in Chicago before I moved to ATL.. and kept that going for a little longer while living here. However, that never really worked out in our favor so we're good friends now. Decided to leave the intimacy behind and focus on friendship. I must say, its working very well for us. I think this is such a great adult decision we made for the both of us. I'm very content with our friendship and where it's led us. So, I guess we didn't lose each other, we gained so much more.

I had a very close friend here in Atlanta. We grew over the months of living here by ourselves. We actually grew our bond from being lonely here. We did so much together and it legit felt like I met this girl in another universe. Unfortunately, that didn't work out in our favor as well. We were just two totally different people when it came to certain situations and our personal perspectives. However, I dont regret any of the time we spent together. In that time frame, we both probably needed each other to get through the life challenges we were facing separately. I appreciated her presence within the time we spent together and I hope she appreciated mine. I pray for her even though we're no longer friends anymore because thats just the type of person that I am. I don't wish bad on anyone & I wish nothing but the best for her.

I fell unconditionally in love... with myself. I was already in love but I took these last 3 months to really self-reflect on what I wanted for myself and what I was no longer going to accept when it came to the best version of myself. I'm so content with the mindset I'm in currently. It's not always unicorns and rainbows but I most definitely have been in a brighter light with things.

I'm still dating.. lol.

I can't wait to make a blog post specifically about the dating pool and this generation. There's so much I'm learning about myself while I'm in my dating stage in life. We all revisit this stage plenty of times throughout our lives but most of us go about it wrong. I'm doing things the right way this time. Taking the time to get to know whose for me and whose not. I've gotten to know some pretty interesting people lol.

I recently dipped back into my childhood a few months ago and in result of that I am dating my high school lover again. It's really crazy how time changes a person, I swear. Dating as adults vs when we were teenagers is so different now. We actually communicate, listen to one another, and try our best to understand each others perspective on different things. Sound good.. right? Of course we're miles away from each other. Getting next to each other is not an issue though... separating is. I find myself getting more attached every visit.. I hate that for me lol. I'm tapping into my soft girl era... I know it's been a long time going lol. For those of you who do know me, you know this is very different than what I'm used to. For those of you who don't.. just know, it took a fucking village LMAO.

Any whom, I'll tell you guys more in my next post. Just thought I'd check in and let you guys know everything is good this way.

MY BIRTHDAY is literally 2 months away. I have so much planned for my blog, I'll be dropping heavy content in the upcoming months. I'm collaborating with a few people and I'm more than excited to share it with you guys. I feel like my readers are on this journey with me.. so it doesn't stop here.

Thanks for sticking with me! Talk to you guys soon
