So many of us goddesses doubt ourselves or allow others' opinions to hold us back from reaching our true potential. When I was with my sons father, I would let him make me feel like I was nothing. The physical abuse hurt, but the spiritual abuse hurt even worse..... he made me feel soulless, lifeless, and unworthy... Yet I stayed. Because I didn't know any other type of love. I allowed him to beat me down until there was nothing left. One day I looked in the mirror, and I remember thinking to myself you deserve so much more, in the back of my head I heard his words "your fat, your ugly, your unworthy, be glad I love you because no one else will"...... I sat there staring at myself crying for over an hour, until a part of me snapped. I knew I was worthy of love and I knew how he treated me wasn't love. That day my soul said enough us enough, I kicked him out of my home and never spoke to him ever again. Looking back I wish I would of left him sooner. He stole five years of my life from me. But at the same time, if I hadn't of endured all that pain, I probably wouldn't be writing this message now... I endured that pain so that I may able to be the strength for the weak, the courage for the fearful, and the voice for the voiceless. To all my goddesses out there going through any type of abuse, I stand with you. If your partner is not uplifting you, they are not for you! Do not submit yourself to abuse just because you "think" you are in love. It's not love if your partner is hurting you. It's not love if your skin is black and blue. It's not love if he/she calls you names or make you feel less than him/her. Do not accept that shit!! I do not care how lonely you think you will be. You don't deserve to be treated like shit for some mediocre fake love! Period. Trust me I was in your shoes too. So scared of being alone so I allowed myself to get abused!! When I learned to love myself, I began to love my own company and realized I don't need a man to not feel alone. Your partner should be someone who uplifts you and genuinely wants to see you become the goddess you were born to be. ๐๐๐ #truestory #goddessvibes #goddessmovement #goddess #survivor #thehoneyjartribe
