ME vs DATING

Hey My Loves,

     I miss writing! Life has been pretty busy, and I've finally got myself refocused on reaching some of my goals I want to accomplish. As we previously discussed I closed the chapter on my past, and now I'm dating.....

   Guys I AM NOT a fan of dating lets juts be honest. I just want to be with that one person. I never wanted to be the dating type. I'd much rather go on dates with my person.

     It's such a great feeling to be in a positive place. Knowing that I actually am excited to meet someone else. To be able to actually love someone who is devoted to loving me. Truthfully meeting someone I can vibe with and I'm attracted to is the worse. Sometimes I see people who I may be interested in but I FEAR REJECTION .  I wouldn't know the first thing to say. Am I supposed to turn into one of those women who go for it and try to  actually approach someone? I mean HOW in the world. I'm afraid to put myself out there.

     I read something today that said "Don't search for love. It'll ruin the surprise". What do you guys think about that? It has me thinking. Maybe I should take things just a little bit slower. This could just be my season to continue trusting that everything I have been through was all apart of a plan. A plan for me to grow into the woman God has destined me to be. The women he needs me to be before I can actually bump into that person that God designed for me. Call it old fashioned but I still believe in being a hopeless romantic. I know I'll get my fairy tale ending. I'll just wait on it.

A Letter To You After All This Time

The reality of moving on places you in this weird unknown space after you have been hurt. When you meet someone worth giving your attention to you begin to rethink every word you ever spoke before.. You begin to relive the fear the hurt because its literally all you can think about. The PAST.... if you let it robs you of those special moments you could have because all you can think about is the hurt that can follow. Which is why I realize I have been so BLOCKED... Unable to write or think clearly... Its like I needed to say some thing something else besides the dozen of happy moving on with my life blogs I've written before!!

This SHIT has been very very hard....

Writing Writing Writing.... Wondering where to start or what to say to you seems like I said all I had to.... Goodbye...I Never Want to see you again....Etc...Etc

I guess none of it matters what was said before... I feel differently...I know I'll never understand how we ended up not together more importantly getting to the point where you felt you had to lie to me. Honestly,   It was a very long journey for me very. It was like the moment you walked out of my life my world shattered my heart literally broke and the world as I knew it no longer existed. We argued so much towards the end It didn't make sense. Two weeks before we broke up after we left the hospital you looked at me and said let's just pack up and leave get away from all of this.

It broke me down fighting for you everyday phone calls, texts me actually begging you to give us a chance to work on us. I tried so hard SO HARD. I remember the sleepless nights waking up all alone wishing I could just lay on your chest like I use to. Man I missed the smell of you, your touch, even that silly little laugh of yours. Every time we talked I believed you when you said our tattoos meant something to you! I believed you when you said "we would always be". I believed you when you begged me to trust you reminding me that we would be together that you would find your way home. (MAN I was COMPLETELY BLIND) I remember dinner with your mother a year later when she said she has just talked to you earlier that day and you had to get it together that you couldn't come home "empty handed". OH.... how I prayed to God every single day to bring you back to me. To just let us make it.  I begged God to just help me be the best version of myself for you because you meant that much to me.

I remember the emails that you sent after I changed my number. The ones I read so many times that I literally could recite them word for word. How stupid was I? Waiting...Waiting...Waiting.. Loving you so much trusting your every word. I loved you so much it consumed me to the point it almost destroyed me. I battled with depression for so long after you left. It wasn't until much later that I realized You took a part of me that I never should have given you. I gave you all of me. Mind, body, soul and spirit all of which belongs to God First. You were my King, I worshipped  everything about you. When I was an after thought to you.

It took me two full years to let you go. To accept the fact that I wasn't where you wanted to be. It took me one year to find out you already were cheating with her before we even broke up. I remember driving home from work receiving that message that said you need to SEE this... It was a FB post from your new girl friend that said happy 2year anniversary. TWO YEARS...seemed odd since we were just approaching our one year of being over.  I pulled over on the side of the road and remembered crying for what seemed like hours that day. It made sense now it was easy for you to leave! It never hurt you because you left a long time ago!! It was my proof right there you cheated you were already in a full blown relationship and still coming home to me. It messed me up so bad. You started off as my "bestie" my friend...someone I believed was genuine someone who could see my hurt promised me I deserved better. I missed you and our friendship for a long time.

You were my world. I was sooo angry so very angry with God sooo angry I was so crushed by you and your family. God I trusted your mom she was my mom. How could she let me believe you were really working on yourself for me??!! I was so hurt I talked to her more than my Mother. I loved your family so much I was lifeless inside. Any mention of your name was like a knife in my soul! I had to let you go!  I had to let them all go... I didn't know what to say anymore..who to trust anymore. In the end I know they loved me and I apologize for letting go but I had to I had to... They were your family NOT mines. The kids  I miss them sooo much, but I just didn't think it was fair to them to keep coming around as shattered as I was.

August of 2016 was the last time I spoke/ saw you or any of them. I had given you to much power over my life I wanted ME back! It was the hardest thing I had to do. But it was the best thing for me. I blocked everyone from everything and I placed all of my energy into asking god to heal me.. Every day I said "God you health the broken in heart and binds up their wound" (Psalms 147:3)  I prayed constantly REPEATED it constantly.. As I wrote blog after blog and met more women like myself I began to feel again like a person and not pathetic. I was finally healing. Telling everyone I forgave you hoping one day it would be true.. I couldn't believe you would lie on me.. but if lying on me makes you  feel better about your choice to literally SHIT on me my the way you did then I'll leave that between you and GOD.

Man you hurt me so much I remember constantly saying to myself I would have been fine with you leaving definitely crushed but I LOST all respect for you knowing you literally moved from our home to a home with her and still kept begging me to stay by your side. I could have never promised you those things and you know exactly what I meant. Crazy I thought we were this real life story of two lovers destined to be that we would some how find our way back together.

 BUT by the grace of God its a year later and even though I will never know why I'm honestly okay with that.

I trust GOD has his reasons for this. I hope you're okay out there in this world.. I truly do...I figure we may bump into each other one day knowing we probably wont speak and I've grown to be okay with that as well. That was a hurt that I don't believe any words can ever truly explain

I just wanted to say Thank you though.  I'll never say I was perfect, but I do know I never deserved the hurt. I never did anything to risk losing you, but I trust God's will. If it wasn't for how we ended I would NOT be where I am today. No day has been easy, but I'm blessed. I'm about to take a major step in my life & I think I needed to say all this. You were right though WWAB because you taught me so may things I will never forget.


From my heart to you.

Writer Block Vs Where I am NOW

Hey My Loves,

Its been so long since I've written.. Possibly since I have no idea what to say anymore. I started this journey as an extremely broken hearted "little girl" lost. Hurting beyond measure.. hurting beyond words that I so desperately tried to express in my writing. Part of me felt that writing would help me.. help someone else and so I began.

So I met some amazing people through this journey each of us in different stages and piece by piece slowly healing each other with encouraging words and pep talks as we needed. When I began to feel better I didn't want to talk about it anymore its was like I could finally breathe again without hurting that hurt that made me want to foolishly give up on life. 
 
Sometimes I ask myself how foolish was I to think that was love? How could I believe that I was actually supposed to survive off of words??

I'm dating which is still kind of hard because I realize I'm afraid. I'm so closed from the Idea of forever with anyone else. I admit I have no idea how to date. WHO to date ... Sounds crazy, but this is the first time in life I've actually dated. I've been in relationships so long. Anywho.. we shall see how this goes...

Love Myself... Whattt????

Hey My Loves,

      I remember the first day I decided to blog  and open the door of my life to my readers, and my friends who truly knew nothing about me. The shock so many people expressed when they couldn't believe the things I hid for years. The things only God knew I was truly embarrassed of.  I titled my blog "Loving Yourself 101" and set my journey to find out what it was.... Who I was?... I remembered being told that I needed to "learn to love myself"  by someone who I loved very much someone who ripped my insides out and made me question everything I had known.

    I fought the words, and the voice that spoke them to me... They tortured me because I couldn't understand that someone could confuse  my loving them for lack of loving myself. It took me every moment after those words were spoken until recently  to realize that I didn't love myself ENOUGH. I couldn't have because a woman who loves all of her self would have found strength to walk away from how I was treated. I had to learn that I was not meant to have a ride or die mentality for a lovers who admit they treated us like we are nothing. They lost the ride or die rights the moment they told you they KNEW exactly how they were treating you.

     For me loving myself was about being okay with me natural me. No make up, no extensions, my inside and my outside! My Thoughts! My Process! My Love! My Fears! My Doubts! My Childhood! My Parents! My Life!  Everything about me, and be conscious of the fact that I am constantly changing.
   
    I think as people we worry so much about losing everything we put into a person. It just not worth it. The only fight I want now out of this life is the one in which God's in my corner.

A Look AT 2016

Hello My Loves,
 
    As I sit here and think about 2016. I must say I am extremely proud of my self. At first I couldn't see past sleeping alone and now I just see the endless possibilities. Ive learned to push myself, process, and proceed. Those are my three p's. I was really hurt and for quite some time I wore it in ways that not only affected my friendships, but work and family. Once I made the decision to let go it was even harder but it was possible. In March I pushed myself to clean up everything we had together that I was left with. I also obtained my real estate license, and I'm a notary public. I have a few things up my sleeve and with God I know more doors are opening.
     There were many nights I laid there crying, even had moments at work where I would close my office door and just cry then I would dry my eyes and get back to work. I buried myself in expectation for myself. I wanted more for me. Before I felt so weak for allowing myself to be so hurt for loving so hard. Now I'm just trusting that it was not in vain. I wish I could express how good it feels to be able to just tell you how I feel when I get emails from you guys about your progress and journeys into loving yourself. It makes me happy to know my situation helps. Focusing on you is a good thing. Rushing your healing is a bad thing it only leaves open wounds that must heal. Building who you are should be the focus. Everyone heals differently and at different times. However lets focus on being a whole person instead of a half.
     I just want to say thank you for being here with me. Both ups and downs your thoughtful words and prayers have truly helped. You deserve real love its just a little harder to find it in a world full of broken people. Don't rush your dating process get to know each other for who you truly are and not what you are trying to force them to be.

Be Careful With Your Heart

Hey My Loves!

    So I was asked how do I feel about dating now. The truth is when I wasn't ready it was petrifying my mind wasn't ready for it my heart wouldn't even entertain the idea. Now I'm okay with it because I gave myself time to reevaluate my life and decide what I wanted going forward.

  Ladies, the truth is I said HELL no at first. That was it I wasn't dating again. Wasn't trying and that was that! I remember saying God himself would have to come here and say "Kai this is who I have chosen for you". A little over the top maybe but I'm just being honest. Before I could even answer could I see myself with some one else. I wanted to know myself.

     Often we don't know who we are. Are you a closed person and emotional person? Are you an angry person who makes everyone else pay for the ex who cheated or the disturbed person who raped you as a child. I learned that I am just a very trusting person. I open up my heart and I show who I am to people who are definitely not worthy of it.

    I learned that I can be too honest some times and every one can not handle that. There are so many people in this world who play games and I for one just can not be that person. If I like you I like you. I have faith that I'll meet someone who isn't looking to play games either.

My heart is a special prize it comes with loyalty, respect and true dedication for the right person. I am a total package for the right person. Which is why I chose celibacy and protecting my heart. Know your worth ladies. I may have only been in two relationships but they both came with a life time of lessons that I will remember.

Quick Follow Up & Q n A

Hey My Loves,

     What can I say besides life is soo much better at this time in my life. Yes, I am still single but I feel amazing. I feel blessed that God saved me from my past. I'm slowly learning what stepping out on faith is. Its honestly the scariest thing you will decide to do. However once you do you'll have no regrets. More so like walking on a cloud but knowing with God you will never fall.
    
     I am actually excited about what the new year has to bring. I left so many people in 2015, and the beginning of 2016 that I truly believe I should have never been around. I no longer wonder if someone has my back. I know that these people who are around will never leave my side. These people love me and understand how I process life. They support me and I am blessed to have them.

     Starting over is scary. In this world you meet a lot of people who have been hurt. Loved the wrong one's and others who just plain give up. Well for me that's not an option. I will be blessed with the right person again when the time is right. For now I enjoy being selfish with me. This time I'm not settling and believe it or not this way is so much easier. You are truly not ready to be with any one else unless you are okay with being by yourself. Going forward I will still address over coming some things in the past... After all it took me two years to get where I am today. I will also talk about where I am in life and my newest accomplishments. So Stay tuned

Q: There seems to be blocks of the break up that you don't talk about

A: I will admit that I have tons of blogs that I have not made public because after all I am discussing a lot of my personal life when I blog. My purpose was to encourage other women to love who they are. To be able to define yourself before you allow anyone else to do so.

Q: I notice that you never specify sex when you talk of your exes?

A: Well I was wondering when that was going to come up. I however believe that both heterosexual and homosexual relationships face some of the same trials. Gender is not the focus. The situations are.
