Sometimes, I wake up super anxious and then it sends my emotions spiraling out of control. But I need to remember that during those times I need to pray and breathe. Things will be okay. I will be okay.

Dear aloe vera, where have you been all of my life?

In April of this year, I experienced a severe allergic reaction to something I consumed, so I immediately researched natural herbal remedies to soothe the inflammation/itching of my skin. Aloe vera was at the top of the list for treating my hives, so I went to my local farmers market and picked up a huge aloe vera leaf for $1. Within days, I noticed how nice and supple my skin looked, and subsequently realized it was the aloe vera working. Who knew that this would be the answer to so many of my problems?

I have been using aloe vera gel pretty consistently now for a month. I simply cut off a piece from a plant (size depends on how much I need), slice down the length, and use the contents inside. I have applied it to my skin improve redness and bumps, on my scalp and roots, and as a deep conditioning treatment (which is amazing!).

 It turns out that aloe vera is used for a variety of reasons with many ayurvedic benefits….

The truth is none of us are easy to date, deal with, or please all the time. We have our vices, attitudes and way of doing things that make us who we are. You won’t like everything about somebody, it’s impossible. This is life and it isn’t about finding the perfect person, it isn’t about living some fairy tale. It’s about finding something you’re willing to work for, with somebody who’s willing to work with you that simple. Find someone who has a heart for you and never stop fighting for them.

I'm actually really happy to be back on Tumblr because I realize that this is truly a safe space for me. I used this space to help me process a lot of what I couldn't make sense of. It's also comforting to know that I have others who are pretty transparent in their own experiences, and can relate to a lot of what is going on with me. As cliché as it sounds, it's always nice to feel that you're not so alone.
