What does i love you really mean

I dated for several months years ago a family friend i grew up with. It was long distance and frankly i was a mess mentally and he is an alcoholic. I love him dearly but i wasn’t in a place to peacefully go from on alcoholic relationship to another. I guess you really shouldn’t be

#blogtober20 the one i love

So most people are writing about a partner but i want to write about why i love myself. I am caring, kind, a team player, loving, smart enough, and beautiful. It’s hard to feel those things most days but recently I’ve had a succession of decent days so it’s easy to love myself. I need

Today is a bonus day off work. I’ve managed to accomplish some housework. Now I’m sitting here trying to remember who i use to be. The good and the bad. I think of my marriage and the damage i did to my children staying so long. He once told me he never really loved me

Love Today i love myself. I love the curves of my body, the color of my eyes, and my height. I love my family flaws and all. I love this community. It has helped me immensely. What do you love today?
