"Healing Girl Summer!"

Every year, we are determined to have a "Hot Girl Summer". While some accomplish that, many others are outside with their boyfriends/girlfriends not too far behind like security for the night. So where does that leave us? The girls that are still healing from relationship trauma, heartbreak, mental/physical abuse, and the list goes on.

If you happen to be one of those girls like I am, I'm right there with you.

Can I get deep with y'all?

I used to be so afraid of voicing what I'm STILL healing from but I realized, maybe others are as well. I have so much healing to do, its almost impossible to focus on anything and anyone else besides myself.

I'm still healing from a failed marriage of almost 3 years, a failed relationship of 5 years, losing my favorite people in the world to death, sexual assault, my mother suffering from cancer, an absent father, and most importantly, losing myself.

"It could be worse." right?

I tell myself that every single day. While still thanking God for what I do have because every day I'm blessed some way, some how. It's important to always remain humble and thankful... Apart of me feels that the only reason I've suffered from those things is because MY God is a jealous God. I went wrong putting anyone else before him and myself.

In result of my "lessons", I'm able to share them with you in hopes that someone else needs it like I did. Every day is new. We get to start over, learn new things about ourselves and overall love ourselves just a little more than we did the day before.

If you're someone that puts everyone else before yourself, I'm there with you. Still learning how to be selfish but so far I think that I'm doing a damn good job. The fact of the matter is... YOU MATTER FIRST.

Cheers to a "Healing Girl Summer".
