    I could relate with you on so many levels. I was raised by my grandmother, parents were very young when they had me. In and out of toxic relationships. I'm 54 and it's been a journey. I can finally say I'm in love with me and it feels so good. I'm not in a relationship and I'm not looking.

    I feel comfortable enough to say... Shi, this is beautiful. There's nothing like a girl who became a woman before her very eyes. My journey was exactly that... a journey, not who I am. Thank you for making me open these 51 year old eyes and loving the girl that I used to be and the woman I am!!!

    Sis….. I needed to hear this at this moment. Thank you! I’m a big 54 and I am with a glee in my step, moving on from a very long relationship with someone I outgrew.I outgrew my Suga daddy😂 He saved me at a time when I needed it but now I’m grown and need space for myself. I’m selling a home that I haves loved and know that it’s the right decision. I’m in a new season and you may have another season. Life is ever changing and we keep growing and moving forward! I say every morning…. Breathe Bitch, you got this and you will be fine!!! So will you! Breathe Lady… you’ve got this ❤ Peace and Love sis

    I love you guys, and the uplifting themes u share...some of us at a bigger age aren't even where u are, and struggle everyday to hold it together with more time behind us than front, when a bad marriage sets you back in later years coupled by religious abuse and children having to witness and trying to be strong while dealing with fear anxiety ptsd is beyond difficult, so im getting help but once your immune system is shot its a bigger struggle...I want to thank you both and i love fashion and politics just to dream , keep talking and sharing your wisdom ❤

    Incredibly grateful for this “heart” moment, Tashira. You are such a blessing and God uses you in remarkable ways. Kinship is at the core of this beautiful message. Family taking care of family. I honor your vulnerability and truth. Because of you, we all are free to do our “mirror work” and examine our truths without judgment, reprisal, or fear. Thank you for giving us the liberated safe space to discover how to love ourselves with common humanity, self-care, forgiveness, and compassion. I dare to dare to find unspeakable joy on this miraculous journey of amazing self-love. Thank you for seeing all of US! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    • @cassiel0610
      @cassiel0610 5 месяцев назад +1

      My perspective of love has become more gracious and grounded as I've aged. Gracious in that I know people are human and because of that I anticipate in their efforts to love me they may not always hit the mark. But grounded in that I know what I need and don't accept different because of what other people say I should be happy with... I know me. I know what I need and I know how I like to love. I love out loud and I want to be loved in the same way.

    • @i.l.746

    • @ATLCExperience
      @ATLCExperience 5 месяцев назад +2

      I’ve learned to first heal. Not carry trauma over into the next and punish someone who isn’t responsible for making me bleed. Stopped trying to fill an inner void with temporary outer satisfaction. Accepting that everything and everyone has a purpose and to some there is a reason, a season and very few are meant for a lifetime. Being okay with all of that and dialing back to understanding me and what makes me happy and brings me joy. Valuing people and not things; realizing that I have more days behind me than before me so living with more intent, giving more grace, showing AGAPE Love and walking away in a heartbeat from anything that disturbs or doesn’t align with peace.
