I looked over this and wondered if I would choose the one with my Dad. I didn’t know him as he left us when I was small. I wanted him but later would find that it was best that he was away because he was sick. He was fighting my mom and my grandma and grandpa cane and got my mom and me and my sister and brother. So dad checked out and just never came back into my life until I was 18. Anyway that’s another story. The person I would change a relationship with would be myself. I was so hard on myself. Maybe it was because I felt unworthy that dad was gone but I didn’t appreciate my eyes because people would tell me I looked Chinese or my long legs because I was so y’all and skinny. I hated my smile. Even though my mom called it beautiful. All the cute boys were shorter 😊🤦🏽♀️ and that made me uncomfortable. I couldn’t find anything I could honestly say I loved about me. I hated my hair it was too thick so my wraps wouldn’t stay put. That inner child was looking to be loved and even I didn’t love her. I was never a wild girl either. If I could change a relationship it would be the one o had with myself. It took me a long time to prove to people I was just as good when all along I never had to. It was me missing out on friendships because I felt I couldn’t be good enough. So hug that wounded girl inside you and make sure she knows that she is prefect just as she is!! No matter who was there or not there. She’s prefect. You’re prefect and I love you not because I know you personally but because loving is easier than hating and because I know what it’s like to feel like I’m unlovable. ❤️❤️❤️
One relationship that I would like to change is myself. I always felt different and sometimes I was afraid of doing others things because what people would think of me. I was not always confident in myself because so many people kept pulling me in different directions until I said no. I realize life is too short and I need to control my destiny. This post made me realize there is a whole life of a head of me and as a front desk agent gotta be confident what I do. Thank you posting this ☺️ @Audra Dukes
Love this. Thank you for sharing I used to be called GIRAFFE 🦒 & Ppl used to make jokes about Haitians “ Haitian cant afford a playstation “ And no look everybody love Zoes & Haitian women and the food 🤦🏾♀️ I love being a Giraffe 😉 Love my long legs
Yes beautiful, you are WORTHY!!!!
💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍. You really made me emotional with this post. Both of my parent was on drugs and my mom was alcoholic also. It forced me to grow up earlier so I never had a childhood and knew what love was. I was looking to fill that void in all the wrong places. I forgave them now that I’m older and starting to Love myself & putting myself first now. Thank you for all your posts 😊🤗
Girl this post is so true to the T. Growing up in a Caribbean house hold not showing love is tough, and throw losing your mother at 15 years old on top of that, let’s say I have come a loooong way to inner peace. So I spent my twenties and partially my thirties feeling not worthy enough, when all this time I am worthy and worthy of loving myself and receiving love. So to all you ladies out there you are worthy. @Audra Dukes thank you always for dropping these much needed gems 💎 Love y’all
I find that you words always come at the right time. I have always felt that I was different and felt out of place. I never knew how to Love on myself and I have to start. I appreciate you Sister and continue to share you wisdom and shine your light. 💜
Wow this really just made me cry cry.... practically ugly crying. Ty
This post is such a blessing. I can relate on many levels!!!🙌🏾 Thank you for uplifting us with your story. I needed to hear this. Love you too sister love & light 💛
Oh this tugged at my heart so much. All of my candles I'm getting are to help with healing and learning to love myself more. Just as you I did not have a relationship with my father growing up and also had to deal with other issues coming up. So my perception of myself was a bit flawed/tainted... it's a daily exercise but I am pushing to love myself more and more and to nurture myself through the process. Thank you so much for this post 💖💖💖
Thank you💜💛💜✨💫 I too need to love the lil girl inside of me. Love you sis ❤️❤️❤️
