You might replace her presence. But you can't replace the history of her loyalty, the way she held you down when you were broke in spirit or in pockets, the way she fiercely shielded your name from criticism you deserved, or the way she chose you when the world offered her more.

If you asked me about my postpartum experience, I would say it taught me how strong and capable I am. But if you asked me on a deeper level, I'd tell you we didn't deserve any of that and should have felt safe enough to not have to be strong in the most vulnerable period of our lives.

I’m just mad I’m put back into a position where I have to make decisions and sacrifices that I told myself I wouldn’t have to do again, but I’m forced to do it because somebody wanted to be mean.

Luxury looks different to me now. It's being loved well. Having friendships that feel easy. Feeling safe in my own life. Sleeping peacetully. Coming home and exhaling. Waking up excited about what I'm creating. I don't just want a life that looks good. Iwant one that feels good to live.

Whatever you’ve been carrying in silence, whatever battle you’ve been fighting that nobody knows about… DON’T QUIT . God hasn’t forgotten you. He’s still writing your story, and this chapter isn’t the end. Keep praying. Keep believing. Keep going. Better days are coming !

Every time someone dismisses your pain, they're teaching you how they'll handle your heart. Believe them. Your feelings shouldn't have to become unbearable before someone decides they're worth caring about.
