Love and the Randomly Real Things @randiejourney - Tumblr Blog

Four years filled with unnecessary anxiety.

Two years ago, right out of college before I was married, before I had a job, before I had a place to live, and when I was dealing with the hurt of attending a PWI (Predominately White College) For Harried gave me a space to write about my experiences. Now, I’ve started my own blog, but this was the catalyst. Thank you.

He made me feel girly and like nothing bad had ever happened to me. I wasn't tainted at all. He became a space. A safe space.

“Saying that though, when you’re struggling with your self-esteem at the moment, is hard. It’s awkward being sexy when you’re not feeling sexy.

“You think too much,” is his favorite thing to say to me.

So, I fight the urge to overthink and instead I speak; and all of the sudden my thighs aren’t these monstrous things, they’re ear warmers. My body is a man’s–my man’s– favorite place, and I am loving on him, and lovable.”

A month after our wedding "The Argument" happened a.k.a. "The honeymoon seal breaker" and I was so salty. I wanted to ride that wave

“Before it happened, I dreaded the thought of our first spousal fight, but it happened, and even though it sucked, we got through it, just like we always promised.We are not doomed to experience a lost marriage just because of our past, our childhoods, and from what we observe when we look at others“

When I first sat down in my therapist's chair, I thought he would diagnose me with multiple disorders, scoff, laugh at me, and incite my shame.

For Women Who Are Difficult To Love (The Affirmation)

by Warsan Shire [featured on #LEMONADE]

you are a horse running alone and he tries to tame you compares you to an impossible highway to a burning house says you are blinding him that he could never leave you forget you want anything but you you dizzy him, you are unbearable every woman before or after you is doused in your name you fill his mouth his teeth ache with memory of taste his body just a long shadow seeking yours but you are always too intense frightening in the way you want him unashamed and sacrificial he tells you that no man can live up to the one who lives in your head and you tried to change didn’t you? closed your mouth more tried to be softer prettier less volatile, less awake but even when sleeping you could feel him traveling away from you in his dreams so what did you want to do love split his head open? you can’t make homes out of human beings someone should have already told you that and if he wants to leave then let him leave you are terrifying and strange and beautiful something not everyone knows how to love.
