Embracing My True Self: A Journey of Self-Love & Acceptance


For a long time, I've struggled to love & accept myself. I've fed myself lies, told myself I wasn't good enough, & allowed others to treat me with disrespect. I've broken myself, piece by piece, & yet, I've always managed to get back up.

I've been a warrior, fighting battles in my mind, heart, and soul. I've made mistakes, failed, & faced disappointments. But I've also experienced successes, joys, and achievements. & through it all, I've learned to love myself, imperfections & all.

I'm not perfect. I have scars, secrets, & a smart mouth. But I'm also strong, brave, & worthy of love. I've come to realize that my worth isn't defined by my mistakes or failures, but by my ability to learn, grow, & move forward.

I've learned to embrace my true self, flaws & all. I've learned to love myself with my whole heart, without apology or condition. & I've learned to recognize my own worth, even when others don't.

If you're struggling to love & accept yourself, I see you. I hear you. & I want you to know that you're not alone. You're strong, brave, & worthy of love, just like me.

Let's rise up, together, & celebrate our true selves. Let's embrace our imperfections, & let's never stop learning, growing, & moving forward.

I am a warrior. I am unstoppable. I am gracefully broken, but beautifully standing. & I am enough.

I am me 💜🩵

Dark Depths

In darkling depths, where pressure's crush A mermaid sings, her voice a hush Bioluminescent scales shine bright A lonely siren, lost in endless night Her song echoes through the darkened sea A haunting melody, a mystery She swims alone, with fins so fine A queen of darkness, in an ocean's shrine The abyssal plains, her kingdom vast Where creatures lurk, and darkness lasts She rules with whispers, soft and low A mermaid of the dark, in an ocean below The darkness swirls, a velvet shroud Around her form, a midnight cloud Her voice, a sigh, a whispered spell As she summons forth, the secrets to tell The deep-sea creatures, they gather near To hear her song, and banish fear The anglerfish, with lantern bright The giant squid, in dark delight The ocean's depths, a labyrinth old Where myths and legends, forever unfold The mermaid's song, a siren's call Lures sailors in, to a watery fall But she, a loner, in this dark domain Rules with a heart, that's lost its pain A g...

Sexual Dreams & the Programming of the Mind

Image
Scripture shows us that dreams are not random. Solomon had a dream, & in that dream God released wisdom to him. When Solomon woke up, he did not feel inspired. He was changed. 📖 “In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night… and God gave Solomon wisdom & understanding.” (1 Kings 3:5,12) Dreams are a spiritual exchange. To make it simple, the dream realm functions like an iCloud. It stores information & downloads it into the soul and subconscious. What is received in the dream often manifests in waking life. This is why sexual dreams matter. A sexual dream is often an unclean spirit attempting to program the subconscious mind. The goal is simple. You wake up with intensified desires & urges that push you toward action. 📖 “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7) Just like downloading an app, permission is required. Agreement opens the door. Once agreement is made, the download begins. Job explains that God speaks through dreams to turn ma...
