I am a working progress.
I am enough.
I am putting all the love I would pour into others just because I matter.
I matter because I’m human, and I can acknowledge the best version is not being perfect but being myself, including my flaws.

As women, we are taught to be givers.
Teachers of life.
As women, we have the most satisfying job: the ability to mold those little lives that will one day change the world we live in today.
We love unconditionally, no questions asked.
We are guides without life understanding that passing judgment on who they are and how they got where they are today.
As women are everything to everyone, we fall at the back of the line when it comes to loving ourselves and self-caring for ourselves.
It seems selfish when we need to put ourselves first.
The most important is to acknowledge that it’s okay to be selfish and put ourselves first because if we don’t, how are we ever going to learn who we are and our true motivation besides being forgotten because we are everything to the world and not ourselves?
We should never forget who we are as women because we are strong and independent.

Happy Galentine day to all my beautiful single ladies.
I’ve always been a firm believer in only using a particular day or a memorable holiday to say I love you to someone.
We have had a crazy three years with Covid, and we should not use a day late Valentine’s Day to say I love you to someone. Instead, we should say I love you as much as a heart’s desire to say I love you.
Love is a fantastic process, but it’s hard work, and part of the process of love is knowing the first person you must love is yourself because if you don’t love yourself or you don’t attempt to love yourself, how are you going to share your heart with anyone else.
Being on this new journey of learning how to love myself even on my worst days, I am learning that I should build the best relationship I can with myself, and the only way I can do that is by giving myself self-care and self-love.
One of the things I’m in the process of dating is myself and spending time with myself getting to know myself in ways I never thought about getting to know myself.
Not everyone is perfect; people should not strive to be perfect. After all, when we strive to be perfect, that’s when things tend to fall apart.
In reality, no one’s perfect if I have learned anything at the beginning of this journey is that I have to love myself with all my flaws and realize said I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea.
Still, I am damn sure my favorite cup of tea because I’m not trying to fit that mole of being perfect and being untouchable that’s just not me.
I’ve made my mistakes; I’m learning to hold myself accountable. But, unfortunately, I’m also allowing other people to hold me responsible for my shit.
The amazing thing about love that is apart is forgiveness, and before anyone can forgive me for my shit, I have to forgive myself for my shit.
If I can’t forgive myself, how can I expect anyone to forgive me for any wrongdoing I’ve done? But, I’ll continue to do it because, throughout this journey, I realize I’m going to have minor slip-ups here and there.
I’m not going to be completely cured of the bitch said I was born to be, but at least I know the roots of my wrongdoings. So I can acknowledge that is nothing wrong with asking or admitting that you might need outside help once you can recognize that you open up a whole new world for yourself, and I believe that’s what I’ve done.
Nobody wants to be alone, especially not on Valentine’s Day, but if I think about it, I’m not alone because I have always had myself and the love of those who genuinely love me.
I felt that having someone was enough or sometimes wasn’t enough for me. I just never treated myself with love and respect as I am trying to work on myself right now—happy Galentine’s day to all, my beautiful ladies and couples around the world.

Self-love is essential because the only way we can learn about self-respect.
Rejection is a part of life, and as people, we have choices; one of the choices we have is to take the rejection for what it is and not do anything but continue to feel like a rejection.
Or use the worse feeling ever in the world and turn it into a positive note.
Positive means that everyone does fall it is about how we choose to pick ourselves back and make decisions for ourselves.
Throughout my journey of finding out who I am as a single person, I realize that I’m better off alone than with someone who will break me down with their negative.
I also have to own for never learning about letting go of wanting to let go. Sometimes is more a lot for others to let go of than it is for me. I have no clue why it’s so tricky to let go when I feel like people have no problem throwing me away as trash.
Letting go is difficult but not feeling worthy is more debilitating to my soul.

I know what I deserve.
I deserve respect.
I deserve to be a queen.
I deserve understanding.
I DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION.
I deserve support.
I deserve love.
If you can’t check one of those things on my list, you will not be worthy of my time. So until then, I will continue to feed myself those things on my list until someone is willing to check consent off all the boxes on my list.
