Oh, this gets my heart tonight. "In the times I had been struggling, I still held space for those who needed me." --- absolutely this. I am trying so hard to learn to be more careful with who I allow close. Because I'm a GIVER, my dudes. I'll drain myself dry for those I love. There will never, ever, EVER be a time that I'm too busy or have too much on my plate and let that = neglecting my people. I will *never* be too busy, if I love you. I'll find a way, whether it's my time, my energy, my hugs, or just my ear to listen. My relationships are intentional//not transactional. I don't care about what I can get out of you. I don't care if you're asking too much. If I choose you//I *got* you. I remind my child of this all the time -- it doesn't matter how much she needs from me. It might be a lot, but it will never be too much. That's how love works, man. 🖤 But, that's WHY I'm trying to learn to be better at being intentional with who I allow in my zone. I know I'm a fiercely loyal little momma bear type: family, friends, relationships. Once you're in, I got you. So, I have to be careful who I let in, in the first place. I seem to struggle with that. Trying to remember that: all people can be good people. But that doesn't mean they're safe people. Red flags can feel like butterflies when all you've ever known is chaos, energy vampires can be stealthy until it's too late, and - maybe some people just change their minds, and stop being who you thought. It's ok to cut those ties too. Because there's nothing more lonely than being alone with someone else. No one else out here is gonna protect me, like me. Good thing I heckin' love me. ❤️ #samiravivette #poetryofig #wordsaremagic #wordsarepowerful #writerslife #lovelikethemoon #lovelylove #loveagain #loveanyway #lovealways #lonelynights #lonelyheart #datingafter40 #datingishard #singlemomproblems #singlemomlife #findingmyself #findinglove #loveyourselffirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJ6XKkOFIW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Got closer to God, no makeup, no extensions, just natural me listening to God and being obedient. Put the ohysical on hold to nurture your spirit. The fast was needed and he showed me what needed to be seen. Forever grateful ✨

Love is an universal language. It’s not reserved for the few. Love always, love hard, love freely and most of all love whoever you want to. We don’t believe in closets. We believe in love 💙💚.
Happy happy birthday Miss Bug! My heart can’t believe you’re already 3 years old. Where in the world did those three years go? I had a feeling from the first moment I saw you that you’d be something special, and let me say you sure are. I have loved every second of watching you grow and learning who you are. You’re fierce and also quite sweet, and sure know what you want. I hope you never lose any of that. And I hope you always stay just a little bit wild, it makes life more fun. I’m looking forward to seeing what this next year of life brings for you, and I can’t wait to be close enough to experience more of it with you. I say every year that being and Aunt is my favorite thing in life so far, and each year it’s even more true. Love always to you Vera Mae, may your day be as special as ever 🎉💗✨ #happybirthday #niece #auntlife #lovealways #bestwishes https://www.instagram.com/p/CeG4TyFLwTb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
All my life I've been told it was just a joke, lighten up, don't be so sensitive, don't be weak, toughen up. The world is a difficult place. But there's a strength in staying soft, even when the world tries to harden your edges. I'm a flower hearted person. Always. 💕🌷💗 #nikitagill #poetrylovers #wordsaremagic #wordsarepowerful #flowerstagram #flowerhearted #beYOUtiful #beyourownhero #softhearted #strongwomen #bethelove #bethegood #belove #lovealways #loveagain #loveanyway https://www.instagram.com/p/CodJI23SZB1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
