My Own

There's something to be said about a woman coming into her own. After the pressures of society have pressed her into the ground, people have trampled on her in their effort to make it, relationships have beat her down emotionally, socially, financially and mentally; it is upon the cusp of that moment, that time in life, where a decision has to be made for better or for worse if life stops or moves forward.

There's something I have been saying for the last few weeks, "Life moves forward." No matter what we decide, life moves forward, its inevitable, it has to happen. We can't will for it to stop every time we are hurt, growth still has to develop, trees have to grow, babies have to be born, rain has to fall and seasons must change.

Life isn't always what we think it should be, but there are things we can control and the most important thing you and I have control over is how we choose to live life. I know that in the 32 years I have been on the earth, I have messed up, taken wrong roads and thought I would never get to where I want to be. But now, right now, I know I have come into my own. I am confident, I am in love, I am happy.
