Bio
Her world was falling apart, & the key to overcoming that lies within her, hidden in her heart & shielded by her soul. Her wings emerged from its chrysalis & she began her journey with the determination of experiencing nothing but Euphoria.

Emotions
Sometimes, you don't need to dry your tears; just let them flow. Let your tears flow and flood the room if it must. Crying doesn't hurt you. It releases those suppressed emotions. Cry if you must... We have become so comfortable with our dysfunctions that we suppress our emotions and think it's the new normal. Jesus wept, so why do we pretend like it's not okay to cry? Crying is one of the purest forms of expression. Crying doesn't make you weak. It shows your strength in acknowledging your emotions. A nonchalant attitude is now accepted as the new norm, but some of us are walking around with baggage full of emotions that are weighing heavily on our mental health. Our mental health is often overlooked because we don't want to address what's affecting us. Some of us have baggage, but we say, "This is who I am; take me or leave me," but is it really who we are, or have we just gotten accustomed to our dysfunction and expect everyone else to tap dance or adjust to it though it's unhealthy? 🤔 There is an increase in depression worldwide, but we are just accepting it as the norm. Cry if you must, unpack if you must, but don't drown yourself. Growth requires acknowledgment. Psalm 120:1

Choices
Maybe it's not about choosing to love someone else or choosing to fix the external. Maybe it's time to fix you. It's time to fix the internal being. We are called to love, and that's the guiding principle of life. When we love, we are obedient, and we sacrifice as needed. The external fixture is only a mask that will cover the dysfunction of the internal. Value yourself enough to give unreservedly and unapologetically your true self. Maybe right now, it's about your soul. You're being taught how to love and take care of your soul. Maybe today marks the beginning of a new version of you. A version that requires you to focus on your inner being. There is no part of the external gains that can be taken with us beyond yonder. Our hearts and the lives we've inspired to change matter. Are we so spiritual, or are you just civil? When you fix your internal growth, it's reflected externally. What does your character behind the degrees, jewelry, or brand name say about you?

Motherhood by Ceanna
Motherhood I was never given the manual for motherhood, parenting, or single parenting, so like almost every other mother, I had to learn along the way. The battle between being a teen mom and living a teenage life came with its challenges, but I was able to overcome most of those challenges. Being a mother puts you in protection and survival mode. You keep going and pushing, and life often seems to be in a rush, especially when you have little children. You put your life on hold, not because you have to but because you want to. Some mothers go the extra mile and balance their personal growth and development, so they continue their education while working and being mothers. Motherhood can be frustrating, and some may say, well, that's what you signed up for. It's not what we signed up for. We signed up for an expression of love, but we know all the other things that come with it. Motherhood is frustrating, and we sometimes need a break. Society puts high expectations on mothers but in a world where it's ever changing those expectations often are not reality and mothers may feel a sense of guilt or disappointment. It doesn't make us bad moms. It just makes us human. Yes, we're going to be thinking of them and probably call you a few times to check on them, but we need a break. Some may be more privileged than others because they have someone to nurture their children in a similar or better manner than they would, so they are allowed to take a break and do what they would like to do and achieve goals, but some have to take a step backward and cater to their children. We rush and go, and in the blink of an eye, they're all grown and remember little to nothing that you would have done for them. Instead, they remember the times they wanted a hug, but you were "too busy," or they remember when they wanted to build blocks and play outside, but you were busy. Moments go by while you're busy and children grow up, and those memories won't be replaced. We can learn daily from and about our children if we take a moment to listen and be present in that moment. In a society where morals and values seem to be irrelevant to a generation that needs them more than ever, motherhood becomes a critical role. It's very challenging to teach a young lady to be independent in an attempt not to have a man mistreat her but to be self-sufficient while being submissive or not to be in a position where she cannot afford to leave where she's not valued, while, at the same time, raising a boy to be a man who will possibly meet a girl that's got all these barriers up. Our daughters are possibly going to go through an identity crisis from time to time, and we may miss that moment to guide and nourish them if we're too busy. Challenges arise when raising a boy to become a man in a society that tries to emasculate men or change their role and value in society. Our boys hold an entire generation within them, so let's nurture and speak life into them. Live in the moment with your children, cherish moments, and practice mindfulness because they grow up and nothing else seems to matter. Teach them values and instill morals. They soon become adults and parents, and you're now trying to enjoy the moments as grandparents.

Mirror
ARISETake patterns from the sunAre you going to run?The day may seem dark...But! How can I ignite that spark?As the clouds cover the sunSo does my hope go downIn despair, I begin to cryAs the rain pours from the skyFlooded with emotionsAs the rain fills the oceansEnraged, hurt, panicking...As the lightning strikes and the thunder sounds crackingThen suddenly, a calmAs I remember a PsalmThe storm is over!And I asked myself, "Why did I even bother?"A ray of sunlightBeams are so brightA rainbow of hopeExplodes as a kaleidoscopeAs I begin to smileI asked myself, "Why did you cry?"A voice replied...Because you are human, my child...I'm now beaming as the sunlightNever to give up my fightBecause there is hopeEven when I think I can't cope...
