Do not disturb… unless you’re bringing compliments. Sunshine, lace, and a little bit of trouble—what’s your favorite part

Oh, this gets my heart tonight. "In the times I had been struggling, I still held space for those who needed me." --- absolutely this. I am trying so hard to learn to be more careful with who I allow close. Because I'm a GIVER, my dudes. I'll drain myself dry for those I love. There will never, ever, EVER be a time that I'm too busy or have too much on my plate and let that = neglecting my people. I will *never* be too busy, if I love you. I'll find a way, whether it's my time, my energy, my hugs, or just my ear to listen. My relationships are intentional//not transactional. I don't care about what I can get out of you. I don't care if you're asking too much. If I choose you//I *got* you. I remind my child of this all the time -- it doesn't matter how much she needs from me. It might be a lot, but it will never be too much. That's how love works, man. 🖤 But, that's WHY I'm trying to learn to be better at being intentional with who I allow in my zone. I know I'm a fiercely loyal little momma bear type: family, friends, relationships. Once you're in, I got you. So, I have to be careful who I let in, in the first place. I seem to struggle with that. Trying to remember that: all people can be good people. But that doesn't mean they're safe people. Red flags can feel like butterflies when all you've ever known is chaos, energy vampires can be stealthy until it's too late, and - maybe some people just change their minds, and stop being who you thought. It's ok to cut those ties too. Because there's nothing more lonely than being alone with someone else. No one else out here is gonna protect me, like me. Good thing I heckin' love me. ❤️ #samiravivette #poetryofig #wordsaremagic #wordsarepowerful #writerslife #lovelikethemoon #lovelylove #loveagain #loveanyway #lovealways #lonelynights #lonelyheart #datingafter40 #datingishard #singlemomproblems #singlemomlife #findingmyself #findinglove #loveyourselffirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJ6XKkOFIW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. - Coco Chanel Here's a truth I wish more people understood: you can't change someone who doesn't see an issue with their actions. I hear girlfriends saying "I can change him". What? Does he wear a diaper? No! YOU CANNOT CHANGE ANYBODY WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE CHANGED. I'll say it another way: you can love someone with everything you have, but until they WANT to make a change in their life, your love will never be enough. You will always be beating on that wall, hoping to transform it into a door and all you'll have to show for it is wasted time, a lot of frustration and probably more than a little anger. Respect yourself. Stop trying to love the red flags out of people. It's not going to work. #RespectYourself #RedFlags #SelfLove #Wisdom #Advice #MomTalk #SingleMom #SingleMomLife #TexasGirl #Over40 #GenX #Follow #Influencer https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_sJsdln_w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I heard that It’s #nationalsingleparentday It’s a good time for me to honor the living children that I am blessed to raise. I ask the Universe to keep its loving hand on their lives and to bless me with a husband who will be proud and consider it an honor to continue to nurture, protect and provide all that a mother and father is suppose to give them for each and every stage of the rest of their lives. #LawsonDean #MaddyCakes #KaideyBabe aka Purple Princess #KK my copy/paste MacBook: Http://bit.ly/coleyskids #Nicolyboo #singleparent #singleparents #singleparentlife #singleparenting #momlife #singlemother #singlemoms #singlemum #singlemomlife #mom #divorced #singlemama #singlemommy #singlemothers #divorcedmom #parenting #motherhood #singleparentday #singleparentchronicles #singleparentsrock #kids Powered by @tagomatic (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYj8QipmJR/?utm_medium=tumblr
