I am unashamedly admitting that I often tiptoe around things because I am afraid of the outcome. No, I was never like that until I went through a lot of emotional trauma. I blame others around me, and myself for allowing it.

After going full circle, and realizing I no longer have to tip toe, I began to wonder where..and how I’ve hindered myself. 

To someone on the outside looking in, the trauma I went through doesn’t seem like a big deal. But I guess we never know how much fire burns until we go through it. 

White I was successful in my career in some areas, I stunted my growth in others. Because of my cruel upbringing, I picked the wrong men to date. Had I stayed single, and realized I was better off alone during that time, I probably would have did substantially better…but at what costs?

Or…did I need to learn those lessons, because who wants to date a fuck boy?

Now that I fully accept who I am as a person, and am much happier, I definitely see my errors in my ways. However, I am not ashamed of having to go through what I experienced. I am grateful I’m viewing the path I took differently.
