“You can’t be burned someone and expect a wound not to form. A life of openness, vulnerability, and love may be reciprocated by darkness, the choice to not reside there and keep moving forward, is what makes you strong.” - M 🍓🌊 #CheersToThePotential #AllThingsLovely #Mersthewriter #LovelyPoetry *************************** This past year was intricately complex for me. I immersed myself in work and school and wasn’t able to feel as much I could’ve. I love my life with the understanding that I am tender. I fell a lot but got the {flip} back up. So I guess happy new year and all that jazz. I don’t really affirm much, I believe in progress and growth and I try and encompass that daily in the best way I know how. But to my lovely friends, especially the ones that were apart of my journey this past year I love you and I appreciate you. To my family, we went through our strifes and we had our victories, thanks for sticking by me. To the ones that hurt me, I have love for you too. I am learning to forgive and you contributed to my journey too. I take scars and thrive off of the lessons they’ve brought me. This is my testimony. Thou are great and thou art lovely. #tenderness #boomin https://www.instagram.com/p/Bse5pZFgG2zg0TKIRGosQnWTKFFk4KvZp3i6OU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14rjt3p2s8e
