I remember my shaking hands and tear soaked cheeks I remember I would replay the terrible things you said to me I remember feeling stuck in quicksand, forever sinking faster I remember when you told me you finally found…her Her was not me I remember a time when I wanted the “her” you found to be I remember when I thought your presence was the only way I could breathe I remember talking about the day you would get on one knee I remember we were happy All in without a doubt Now your love is what I’ve learned to live without I remember the good and I remember the bad I remember when you hated making me sad At some point it all changed; it’s like a spark went boom Now we walk our own paths Trying to forget there was a me and you Though the memories peak through, sometimes more than I would permit I do not regret the love It’s proof that I lived To live is to love And love can bring pain The love I give will never bring me shame I’ve made my mistakes, and I’ve made peace with them too I gav...

We are all shapeshifters Twisting and turning our emotions Don't feel, don't show These are what we learned All on societal terms What do we get in return?

 Hello, fabulous people! I have missed you all, so sorry for going MIA. Between work and getting my life back on track, I fell into autopilot; however, I am back now.   First things first, happy February to all the lovers out there! We are only on day three of this cold weather; however, it is still one of my favorite months.  It's hard not to be in the spirit for Valentine's Day. I understand how it can be a little intimidating for those who are single, seeing couples celebrate and shove their love in your face. Good thing you have me here to take the intimidation away. Generally, Valentine's Day focuses on couples and things of that nature. However, it's easy to forget that you can show yourself love and those you care about. It doesn't have to be a romantic situation for you to feel special!!  I remember growing up, and every year on Valentine's Day, my mother would surprise my siblings and me with baskets filled with candy and gifts. It made us so very happy...
