The Wait


Have you ever thought to yourself that maybe if you wait actually forget the maybe but if you actually wait for the one that is meant for you, he will come to you? I know being in love, being cared for and being appreciated by someone who truly admires you and cherish you for all of you is something special. I know being the single one and watching those around you in love and being happy isn't always fun but you have to be patient and believe that one day you will be in love. Stop doubting yourself and believe you are worthy for someone being in love with you  besides yourself. 

For some women, I believe the reason why you doubt someone loving you is because you lack loving yourself. How can someone else love you if you don't love yourself? I had to learn that myself, I wrote this many times about my past relationship that left me broken mentally and emotionally. After I finally found the strength that always knew I had to leave  I truly believed that I wasn't worthy of being loved, I believed that I will never fall in love again. I had put it in my mind that I would be single for the rest of myself because all these men that I gave a piece of me didn't appreciate me. They would say "you're good enough" but I wasn't good enough for them. I didn't understand it at first, I just felt that I wasn't good enough for anyone and no matter what I did for someone to appreciate all of me, I always ended being hurt. 


It took awhile for me to tell myself, "You're Worth It", it was the truth and I needed to stop thinking otherwise. I had to take time to fall in love with myself, build my confidence, and truly believe that I was worth it. I also took time to not search for anyone to appreciate me, I prayed about it and gave it to God. I knew at the right time, someone that is worth having me will find me. For 2 years I took time for myself, I was dating but it wasn't nothing  serious. I dated him, My HIM which I knew since I was a teen. I didn't think of nothing serious, to me it was about having a good time with him. 
                      (My HIM & I) 

He was everything that I needed but in my mind I kept telling myself in due time he will show his true colors and be just like those idiots I dated in the past. He was patient with me, he was patient with me taking the time that I needed to actually believe in love again. He healed my heart despite it being in millions of pieces, he did everything to see me smile. I know at times I showed as if I didn't appreciate him but I was just scared. I waited until I knew it was the right time and it was time for me to actually give him a chance. I didn't rush into it but after 2 years I knew it was time. 


I gave him a chance and My Confident Dolls, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't Thank God for him. I was patient, I took time to grow, learn more about myself, fall in love with myself, build my confidence up but most of all knowing my  worth. I know for sure that waiting and taking the time for myself was exactly what I needed for myself. If I never had taken that time to wait for the one for me, trust me I would of still been getting hurt by these idiots that doesn't value a women worth. 

I know it's hard especially when you know that. you're worth, you ask yourself "Why Me?" But take this time to know that it isn't time yet for you for the person God has designed just for you. Have you thought about that? Think about it, you're so busy worrying about "Why", take time to say" Not now but 1 DAY". I know it's not easy, I use to wonder why so much that I just got into situations that I wasn't happy in. You can't rush what is meant for you, you have to be patient and just believe that your love will find you when it's the time. 


I don't want you to read this and say "This will never be my story", keep doubting yourself and it won't be your story. You have to keep on loving who you are, being patient with the person you want to become and always keep in mind no matter what that you are indeed worth it because you are. Take the necessary time that you need for the love that you deserve to find you instead of dealing with situations that aren't even making smile. Trust and believe in me, waiting for what is meant for you is better because who is meant for you will be what God has plan for you. 

I waited and Iam thankful for all of the BS that I went through, all of the hurt, the broken hearts and lies because it made me the women that I am today and made me appreciate the love that I have. I waited for someone to love me and appreciate all of me flaws and all. I waited for someone that would motivate me, push me, inspire me to do better in life. I waited for someone that wanted to build with me, grow with me and not just wanted to live in the moment. 
 
In my past relationships these dudes didn't even want to do anything else besides hurt me but the one that I have now travels the world with me, listen to my stories even though they are boring, watch lifetime movies with me because he knows those are my favorite movies to watch. When I say I am blessed with an amazing man, Thank You God. We had our moments but our moments made us stronger so Be Patient, Have Faith & WAIT until your special someone finds you. 


To My Love On Our 3rd Year Anniversary Which Is Today (6/17)......I may have loved the wrong people, cried for the wrong people in the past but those wrong people helped me WAIT for the one that was meant for me. One thing is for certain I don't regret a single thing in my life that brought me to this point. All of it was worth it due to the fact that it brought me to you 3yrs ago Today ( Officially). Love is a hard task but most of all it's realizing that every hour, every minute and every second of it was worth it because we did it together. Happy Anniversary MJ , I Love You So Much, Cheers To Many More To Come.

Failing Isn't Part Of Who You Are!

In life you will be faced with many obstacles but what I've learned over the years is that no matter what that comes your way, you can't give up in what you believe in. I went through so much in my life which broke me down emotionally, mentally and physically but looking back everything I went through made me the women I am today so I wouldn't change a thing. We all make plans for our lives, I thought by 30 I would be married with children living in my dream house with 5 books on the best seller list but that's not how my life turned out and Iam not complaining at all. See the thing we fail to realize at times it that God is the only that can plan out our lives and with every battle that we are faced with, we have to know that many more blessings will come our way. 


Education was always a key to me, I love school but with many obstacles coming my way I gave up on school many times. Those times I gave up on myself, I just didn't believe in myself. Everything in my life wasn't going as I planned and I felt going back to school was a waste of time. I felt this way for awhile until I started believing myself and knew if I pushed through I would accomplish yet another goal in my life. One thing is for sure when you believe in yourself, Magic Happens! I went back to school and told myself no matter what obstacles came my way I will accomplish my goal.

I was giving myself so many excuses such as Iam too old, it will be too hard just excuses after excuses. How are you able to succeed if you doubt yourself more than you believe in yourself? We set so many goals for ourselves but once it starts too get difficult we feel that we can't do it, we give up. Remember FAILURE isn't part of who you are, You have to BELIEVE in yourself and make it happen. When I felt that it was too much for me, I took a deep breath, prayed about it and remembered I have a goal to reach. 


After taking years off of school just because of the excuses I was given myself, I went back to school and knew one day I would accomplish this goal of receiving my Bachelors and on June 2,2016, I achieved my goal.  It wasn't easy and I went through a few obstacles which I didn't allow to break me and make me lose focus. I stayed strong and I knew that one day it will all be worth it. I even accomplished self publishing my book in December 2014 while being in school. This is why I say all the time IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!!!! You can achieve anything you put your mind into, just by starting by giving up on the excuses you have to make you doubt yourself. 




What is it that you want to achieve? I know there is something that you think you can't accomplish, STOP thinking this way and know that anything that you put your mind into you CAN and you WILL achieve. MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE!!!
