Read piece below..

"So I will most likely be posting randomly as I deem fit 🤷🏾‍♀️ It’s my birthday in barely two weeks , ( my own new year begins then ) and with the recent events , I thought it a good time to share some . 

I had the craziest 12-15 months , I lost two people close to me ( My friend and my mother )amidst fighting for my life / health . Life lost its meaning , but I kept trying to find its purpose , MY purpose ! Life as i knew it was broken , but I understood it’s supposed to be a journey , so I would find the strength to try to build again .

 To some , I was just wasting time and sleeping , because I would push pain to the darkest parts of my heart that no one would never see .


More when you continue..


 I lost strength , lost the ability to feel , ( How do you create without that ) lost friends , lost weight , even lost hair 😂 but I never lost faith and HOPE . I’d gain strength from giving love and strength to others . The true meaning of strength is hidden in vulnerability, not perfection ... and it’s ok not to be ok . If i don’t feel like dressing up , o didn’t , if i didn’t want to shower or get out of bed , i didn’t ! It would pass and I’d be me again . Happiness can come in bits , it doesn’t have to land as a whole big package , so I took one day at a time . 

I found that the only way to heal was to embrace the ugliness of all the pain , go through it and not over or under it . In all that darkness , my vision became so vivid that I started to find my way again . I am still on my way , there were times I thought I was through but half way , I would see I was still deep on the hollow , I don’t know when the process will be done , but I am glad that I went through the fire and came out pure and refined . ( And i am not even done yet ) Not one to share my pain , but I realize that nothing in life is by chance and we are meant to teach , heal and raise with our lives and as such must share . Every problem , pain disappointment has an expiry date . Some never go away ,but you learn how to cope . Life is for the living , make every moment count ! "
