It is the beginning of the month and here I am, writing a blog I’ve promised not to neglect.
One day I will be better at writing every day. For now, it is what it is. I figure this journey is called life out.
I ended things with that woman I’ve been obsessing over through this blog. I had to let go finally, even though everything in me wants to call her again and go right back in the round and round game that we are in (here is to repeating cycles *raises glass*). But my soul is telling me something different, my body is feeling naturally sick from going right back on the roller coaster and my mind is telling me: “No way, girl, do you really want to put your child through this?”.
You see, I’ve done this before. With a man, who is my child’s father. He was an addict who could never stay by my side. He was always straying to another girl who was probably hooked on drugs, just like him. In the end, it left me with a newborn child, not much money and having to beg my parents for help (so grateful for them). I had to pick myself up.
Fast forward seven years later. I’ve been on and off dating. I settled for dating my best friend, who is a woman but I was just playing it safe. It felt right with her at the time but I was not loving her the way she deserved. I even repeated the same toxic habits that my child’s father did to me (cheating *eye roll*). And I felt the lowest, I had to break it off for her heart.
Now here I am, after ending another relationship that was starting to repeat the same patterns as my child’s father (addiction, the yelling, the fighting, the feeling of walking on eggshells, etc.). I had to take twenty steps back and ask myself: Do I really want to repeat this same cycle?
The answer is simple. No.
So I sit here with my life still in my hands. No bruises, no cuts, no wear down after a brutal relationship . Just a little heartache. I still have everything else that I’ve ever worked for. Now, I just need to work on me.
No more dating till I get me solved <3
