"Are You Okay?"

Day 12 of this chaotic month, and I'm running on fumes. Life feels off-kilter, and I'm struggling to find my footing. Recently, I've been dealing with a disturbing situation that has left me feeling vulnerable and shaken. Someone from my past, a childhood acquaintance, found me on social media and began stalking me at work. Things escalated on June 10th when I was assaulted while walking to my car after work. Although I sustained only a physical bruise, the emotional impact is profound. 😖😭

What's equally challenging is navigating this trauma amidst other life stressors. Losing my daughter, D'Koda, was a shattering experience that left me feeling broken. While I've worked to rebuild and find strength, recent events have triggered old wounds, making me question my resilience.

As I juggle being a mother, student, and navigating personal struggles, I often feel like I'm barely holding on. The pressure to stay strong for my children, manage my mental health, and clear my name weighs heavily on me. I'm tired of feeling like a victim and exhausted from people taking advantage of me.

The question lingers: how much can a person endure? When does the breaking point become a breaking release? I'm still searching for answers, but for now, I'm trying to find solace in vulnerability and allow myself to heal.

This post is a reflection of my current state, and I hope it resonates with those who may be going through similar struggles. If you're reading this, know you're not alone. ❤️‍🩹🫂
