"I'm not fragile like a flower, I'm fragile like a bomb." Frida Kahlo
(thank you, my friends!)
Women can be soft and strong at the same time.
I'm no fool. Not anymore. I am happy and proud to proclaim that I have left Tomfoolery for a life without chaos. It's amazing the clarity you get when you decide to own up to your own stuff and tell all the truth and decide you will only accept truth. It gives you strength to live in the truth. No more covers, no more fake smiles, no more pretending. Just - this is it people, take it or leave it. The other thing it does is makes you stronger knowing that you have nothing to hide. What's done is done, and I'm grateful for how much I have learned. You will NOT fool me with your lies or schemes. I'm strong on my own. I have God to back me, lots of family and many amazing friends, thank GOD. I never knew how great it would be to be a grown woman, living in a peaceful home with just me and my daughter, and living without my brain and emotions constantly on overdrive. I'm so thankful that God has rescued my mind. He rescued it over and over. My mind is growing stronger by the day. I'm not scared, not intimidated, not fragile anymore, and I will accept absolutely ZERO BS!!!
Speaking of BS... I have had the most interesting awareness come over me this week. I realized that some people have their head so far in the sand that they aren't aware how dirty the sand is all around them. They are in so deep they can't see. I used to be there. I feel sorry for people that refuse to listen or hear the truth. People that avoid the truth and are being fooled. Something I used to be good at (being fooled). On the flipside, maybe they are living this way on purpose. Maybe they think they can get away with their schemes. Maybe they like how the schemes are working out for them... for now. Well, I have news. THE TRUTH WILL TELL. THE TRUTH will be known eventually.
I find that when people avoid questions, they are hiding something. You don't like having to sit at the truth table? Let's be clear... I have said all that I can... it's out there. The good, the bad and the ugly... so now it's my turn to be strong. Strong in truth. Not proud of my whole story, full of humility, full of grace, but the TRUTH.
Right now I'm not in a peaceful place... but God gives me peace in this place. That is where my strength also comes in... GOD. TRUTH.
So, here I keep going... only now I'm stronger. BRING IT ON
