Wasn't Sure About Posting...

But I couldn't let it go...

Saw some stuff on my social media timelines lately and I must say that people never cease to amaze me. 

Here's why:

The name calling, threats, and disrespect behind the choices a person makes with their own body is out of control. (i.e. getting/not getting vaccinated, having an abortion, changing one's gender).

Please understand, I get how passionate you may be about your stance, but being disrespectful to get your point across shows a level of immaturity, and ignorance, that is intolerable. 

While you are on the internet losing your shit, there's a child out there that's afraid to sleep at night because of the actual monster creeping in their bedroom. There's a child out there suicidal because they feel that death is their only escape. There's a child out there going without a meal; hell, there's a child going without period. 

There are REAL LIFE problems in the world that you SHOULD be battling, but you want to internet battle other people over their choices. 

*Trying to strong arm a person into getting vaccinated is not going to get them vaccinated any faster. 

*Telling a woman to keep a baby she doesn't want is only going to cause her to get rid of it some other way. 

*And talking down on someone for physically becoming who they always felt they were only shows how uncomfortable you are within yourself.

Because She Is Who Created Me...

 And they are who made me...

As my mother: Part of who I am today is a result of watching the sacrifices my Mom made, and still makes, for me. I have never wanted her to feel like everything she's done was a wasted effort; I want her chest to swell with pride every time she looks at me. Why? Because she stayed when he chose to walk away... She carried the weight and responsibility of two people and she did so without any complaints (at least to us anyway, lol). She sacrificed so much for us; even though she never said it, we saw it. Therefore, she deserves to know that she is a part of the reason that I am as successful as I am.

As their mother: The other part of who I am today is because of my children. I decided after I had my daughter that I wanted my children to look at me with pride in their hearts; look up to me even. I am a determined individual because being their mother makes me this way. I have been determined to give them the best that I can, show them the best that I can, love them the best that I can. Part of who I am is because of them and because of them, I am always evolving into someone better; someone stronger.

I love them all with every fiber of my being. #MothersDay2021

There Will Always Be A Moment...

When everything becomes full circle...

Something dawned on me the other day. I have actually written in every genre I have ever wanted to write in. Poetry, children, romance, mystery, suspense, how to, and erotica. If there was ever a time that I would stop writing, and be okay with it, that time would be now. Like, I honestly feel as though I have come full circle as a writer. I truly do. 

As a writer, I have always wanted to grow. Branch out into genres unknown. Not only just branch out into them, but to successfully write in them as well. With that being said, I can proudly say that every genre I branched into, the book written was a successful one. I am truly pleased with myself for not allowing my fear of failure to get in the way of my growth as an artist.

I can say with 100 percent certainty that I have never felt more accomplished in my writing career than I do right now. My teenage self would be extremely proud. Dreams really do come true; you just have to be willing to put in the work to make them come to fruition.
