Before my divorce my best friend slept with my husband, I was never able to spoil my children, my house was spotless or he would yell, I was always cooking or cleaning up after a grown man child, I was alone, unallowed to work nor drive.

Since my divorce my best friend bailed on me, I spend a significant amount of time alone with my children or working, I don't get to be there every single day to watch my daughters grow, I picked cigarettes up again, I'm tired all the time, my house is never clean, and I trust so few people.

Since my divorce I've learned I am of value. I deserve more than to be yelled at constantly. I am worthy of love and kindness. I don't have to standby as people walk all over me. I am of the utmost importance in my life alongside my children.

Since my divorce I dropped volatile people from my life, I get to show my daughters they don't need a man to be successful, I know my exhaustion is so worth it when I wake up to them, my home is lived in and loved, and I only allow those worthy into our lives.

Sometimes people are toxic, friends or family, and its okay to let them go. I have spent the last year rebuilding my life, by myself. In that time I've become so close to my daughters, I have found a man I love unlike any other, I have a career in the field I've always wanted to work in, with a roof over our head and food on our table. I am so blessed and I never in a million years believed I could be this happy.

If you're struggling to figure things out, or don't know how to get away, or simply just want to feel like it can be okay. I'm here to tell you, breathe, you got this, it WILL be okay.

Here's some pics of my loves.
