Everything happens for a reason *possible DV trigger*

Before we met I had just barely gotten out of an extremely abusive relationship alive. Like my life was a full on Lifetime movie. When we met i had absolutely no intention of getting involved, it was just nice to have someone around, i hated being alone with my own thoughts. I fought my feelings for him, didn't want to admit them. (As someone whose endured abuse, it's quite hard to allow someone to know that they have any control over your emotions/feelings) I didn't want him to know he made me feel the way he does. But he was so kind and so patient with me, never pushed me into a thing, he let me come to him when i was ready which I appreciated SO much ❤️

Little by little I started to fall in love again. Not just with him, but myself too. I was obviously still putting my little pieces back together, and he knew that. He helped me love life again.

Long story short- I swear, God, the Universe, whatever it may be, makes you go through hell to know what heaven is like when it comes around. Sure, there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about all the bad shit life has thrown my way, but my GOODNESS, I am sooo glad i held on, & kept going. So many times i wanted to give up, & quit on life.

It gets better, it gets better than you EVER could have imagined. Ladies, whether you're in an abusive relationship, toxic one, or maybe your man just doesn't appreciate you the way he should, don't stop looking until you find the man that makes you feel like you're home. In

P.s We're going engagement ring shopping in the morning and I can barely contain my excitement!

The fact that I'm going to spend the rest of my life with my twin flame, my best friend, MY SOUL MATE is just absolutely MIND BLOWING. We just had our first child together, and just seeing this man become a father is beyond beautiful 😩😍

God is so good.
