ACCEPTANCE

Always leave room for the unexpected.

That’s what I’m finding more or more in life. You cannot plan it no matter how hard you try and get used to people not being in your life for the long haul. It’s important to know and understand the lessons and different seasons in your life as they unfold.

I’ve started writing a few different blog posts in the last couple of weeks but it never felt right to post them so they remained in my drafts. I was going through severe depression the past two weeks and I just didn’t want to share that side of myself with you guys during that time.

There’s still so much about myself that I am accepting and learning and a lot that I am still healing from. I unfortunately lost a friendship recently and that’s never an easy thing especially when a promise is broken and you suddenly feel like you are reliving a trauma. There’s honestly just been a lot going on with work challenges and looking for a new apartment. I’ve recently had to deal with racism more than usual now that I’m in an interracial relationship and it’s mind boggling. It’s 2024 and people are still so ignorant.

I plan to only leave room for people in my life that add value, love, and light to it. That accept me and the people that I hold dear. I will no longer hold space for anyone that chooses to disrespect the person that I am becoming or anyone that I love ever. No relationship is perfect but through every hurdle it’s only brought us closer together.

To anyone out there struggling with mental health, anxiety, or depression, I am rooting for you. It will get better. Hang in there. Sending you love and strength.

Love always.

Xo,

Nina
