February Recap: Finding Strength in Vulnerability

...

....

.....

As I close the chapter on February, I'm reflecting on the highs and lows of the past month. It's been a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. ❤️‍🩹

Physically, I've been dealing with persistent toe pain that's been affecting my daily life. I'm relieved to be going to a doctor's visit soon to address the issue. Hopefully, nothing drastic  doesn't have to occur to fix the issue. Despite the discomfort, I'm learning to pace myself and rest when needed. 

Emotionally, February has been a rollercoaster. I took the significant and FINAL step of filing for divorce, marking the end of an 11-year chapter in my life. Grieving the loss of the relationship and marriage has been a complex process, but I'm working through my emotions and finding solace in the peace and quiet of my home. There are moments when I miss the familiarity of having someone to share my thoughts with, but I'm coming to realize that it's not the person I miss, but the idea of connection. 🫂This newfound independence has brought me unexpected joy and freedom. 🩶

I'm missing D'Koda more as the days go by but I push through because if I don't; I'll sink into that dark place again and I don't believe that I will make it out again. 🩷😫😭

I receive calls every other day about Jay's behavior and his constant outbursts and fights. 😳😭 I'm not surprised at this point but rather disappointed. 🫤

🚶🏾‍♀️✨️As I step into March, I'm filled with hope and determination. This month, I'm looking forward to starting new classes, exploring fresh opportunities, and continuing on my journey of self-care and healing. ✨️✨️💫

If there's one thing I've learned from February, it's that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Embracing my emotions, even the difficult ones, has allowed me to grow and find resilience in the face of adversity.

✨️✨️Here's to March, and all the possibilities it holds. 🤎❤️🩷❤️‍🩹
