My self expression..

I can’t even front like these last 6 years haven’t changed me or evolved me into the person I am today. Losing you really did make me want to appreciate and love everyone and life a little more. And even after the dark times through the grieving i gave myself another chance. I invested in myself and tried my absolute best. I started living and seizing moments rather than settling. I loved so fucking hard. I was selfless and I was kind because life is way too fucking short not to be. It wasn’t easy. Life continues to be so hard sometimes. The last months have been incredibly rough. But I am resilient because of you. I keep trying because you would want me/everyone to move forward. The light I held onto in the grieving process was always you. I believe you’re protecting me and pushing me to strive because I wouldn’t have made it out of some trying times this year. I’ll always wish you were here, but You’re in sunsets, you’re that warm light that settles on my eyes. You are there. You are here, And you’ll always be in my heart. Thank you for it all. 🧡💛✨🌅 #8 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLDsk7JJ38pNWEKPW_ffNjA0lAtqUSu4YwgIIE0/?igshid=e96oatvzipyk

I’ve gained a lot this year. Accomplished some thangs in what feels like the longest but shortest amount of time. I’ve been significantly proud of myself at several moments. Not just because of the recognition, but of what I was able to do with what i had and during the times we were and ARE in (a whole ass Pandemic). I was grateful because I simply had what i had with an opportunity to study & grow the fuck up. I got older, but I also got so much life experience y’all. With people, my profession, and the reality we live in. I loss a lot in the process don’t get me wrong. I’m still grieving the losses of what I tried to hold on to. I maybe even lost a little of myself in growing up. Growth is a lonely place. But I learned to stop forcing what isn’t meant to be anymore. I will always have love for anyone who supported me and shaped my life. There should never be a doubt about my love, ever. But I understand now that I have to let life be. ...i know now what I can’t control. I stop dwelling about everything a while ago. I just know life runs its course and pushing forward with gratitude and meaning is ideal for parts of your life you can no longer control. With 27, I will just let it be. #keepaplaceforme https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYwyQAJc8ktSDlbzIVIwH_F-LKogB_9aKrwJg0/?igshid=rk3wjj3bpy6k
