It’s the end of Chapter 42 in my life story. While my life is far from ideal, I’m still grateful and feel incredibly blessed for this past year of growth. I think that two words that describe this year have been: community and bravery. I found community with friends, at open mic, online with other writers, and continue to strengthen my relationships with my sons. I also reconnected even more with my beautiful culture and homeland . I was brave this year in many ways, but I was very intentional about it. It was hard at times to do certain things and continue to find the willpower and determination to do them, but I did it. I’m not sure what chapter 43 has for me. I don’t have any big plans aside from writing my book and continuing to be my moody and creative Pisces self with an occasional ray of sunshine. It’s been a good year. π₯Ήπ #piscesseason #endof42 #birthdayweek https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3qBI13MkRN/?igsh=YWhxaWZjMHgycGJw

maybe my traumatic birth set the tone for the many rebirths Iβd have
Iβm the cat with more than nine lives
Iβm the phoenix who always rises from the ashes
Iβve been through so many rebirths and transformations
Itβs almost comical or maybe itβs brave instead
because Iβve always been able to get back up
no matter how catastrophic the fall has been
