I honestly still do not know what I want to say or write to document this moment. I created something on canva with my photo and a brief blog that is no more than 15 lines.
I feel sleepy. This has been the latest I’ve been up on the fly. Sleep is of high importance, on the calendar, and scheduled. And so is today, this moment, this present unfolding.
It is snowing in Chicago, burr! It is cold. I’m grateful for my apartment home and my heat. Hearing the sound of dripping water in my kitchen sink, bathroom, and tub so that the pipe don’t freeze.
I feel privileged and I feel rich. I feel rich, not yet in monetary proof of streams of income, but in spiritual wisdom, and in human experiences. I’ve lived in a car and survived over 30 days. Colder season has me reflecting on that. Not because I am grateful I don’t live in a car anymore, but because I’ve experienced what that is like.
To this day as I intuitively reflect on my past, history, and stories, I genuinely have no regrets. My painful experiences and struggles are too many to count. However, I will do it all over again. I value them all. All that has made and built me to the human that I honor today. The superhuman that I feel today.
I feel the most confident today. Not because I’ve not experienced rejection, bully, hate, or abandonment. Paradoxically, because I have. Strangely, it is the wounding, pain, and struggles that has helped me finally see the beautiful Woman that I have come to know and love today.
I have something to write after all. I have something to say all in all. This is more than enough.
