Healing Is A Journey
If someone were to tell me seven years ago when I called Ms. Verna in tears telling her I wanted to begin the process of healing, that it would’ve been a rollercoaster ride, I would’ve told them they were a liar. I would argue this based on the preconceived idea I developed of what it […]
Fatherless Daughter 6 (Series Finale)
This is the final blog post, to my series called, ‘Fatherless Daughter’. For those who are now joining me, in these posts I take you through a journey of my past relationships and how the absence of my father played a major component throughout them. Unaware of the aftermath of not having a father, I […]
Fatherless Daughter 5
In the previous blog posts of this series, I talk about the first four men I dated – none of those relationships were great experiences, but they didn’t kill me! If anything, I learned a lot about myself and my relationship habits: my twenties were all about unhealthy patterns. I fell constantly for men who […]
Fatherless Daughter 4
This is final blog post in a 4-part blog series. If you haven’t read parts one through three, you can catch up, starting from Fatherless Daughter 1. Without giving anything away, it’s obvious from the first three posts in this series that, back in my twenties, a pattern had begun to form with the men […]
Fatherless Daughter 3
In the first two blog post of this continuation, I elaborate on being a fatherless daughter and how it had an effect on my fist two relationships. In post part 2, I mention how I was beginning to form a pattern with the men I chose to date – a pattern I would take with […]
Fatherless Daughter 2
Growing up without a father was my reality, and living life without one now, is still my reality. The good thing about it now is: I’ve accepted it. As the years went on, I got used to it but I never realized how much it affected me until I took a deep observation into my […]
Fatherless Daughter 1
Fatherless daughter. Yes, that’s me. Messed up, right? In some ways, it is. But don’t pity me. Sit back and listen to the struggle, because it’s real. “Daddy’s gone.” That’s what my family said. “Where did he go?” I wondered. And: “When is he coming back? Does ‘gone’ mean forever?” But life has to go […]
What The Hell Was I Thinking?
You ever think back to a man you used to deal with and wonder, “What the hell was I thinking when I hooked up with him?” Well, I most definitely have. My girls and I speak about this whenever we get together for an all-day ladies’ night. Sometimes we laugh about it, but we also […]
Add Post Title Here
This morning, when I woke up to check my social media, I saw a friend request from a man that I used to date. I shook my head. I thought I would feel something, but I felt nothing. I didn’t even wonder why he added me or what his intentions were. The one thing that […]
Healing
When I wanted to heal my broken heart, I spent a lot of days praying to get to that healing place. Once I did, my mind was positioned to receive support from another person, someone who was able to encourage me through my healing process because she’d already mastered her own. The only reason this […]
