Dating Chronicles: Healing through therapy

And so it's just now I'm at a place where I've realized that I've repeated some things in my dating life that was a clear reflection that it's still some work to do and it's still some things that I need to figure out with me when it comes to becoming impatient or identifying what's important to me and really understanding it

You'll begin to see all of your relationships are better because you'll require better, because you're healing. And that's what you want. You'll be blessed

Diary of mad black women

This reminds me of Medea. But in real life. And why do we need to live our real life drama? I mean, each of us has enough drama of our own to deal with in our own lives, let alone dealing with everybody else's. I mean, I understand this is a cool app and everything to hear yourself talk and connect with other people, but like my instruction teacher in my Surf Safe class said she just is on here because she likes to hear herself talk

So even if you were going to reference a real woman, you could have found somebody, a real woman to reference. But, yeah, I don't appreciate you coming on here and trying to silence her because she is healing. And it takes courage to address things that have happened to you and things that have happened in your life. It takes courage to address them and to open yourself up so that other people can get the courage from you. I appreciate her post. I appreciate her content

I'm just saying that doesn't need to be in everybody's business because a regular Joe shouldn't be in the tabloids. Nobody should be subject to the tabloids and TMZ

And by her having the courage to speak up and share her journey, that will hopefully encourage them to start their journey, I was encouraged by her post. And so, yes, this is an app. Yes, it is. And everybody has the right to comment and post whatever they want to comment and post whatever they want to post and to have discussions about whatever they want to have discussions about. But we also have the right to not click on something if we're not interested

And a lot of my clients had wanted something, and then 50 years from then, they still were in the same situation, and they would start being like, well, what will make it change now? I've done 50 years of this, and so being that I've been a person that been trying to form or feeling like I wanted to form long term relationships for a while, it got a little bit discouraging, I won't lie

And I started to get inboxes from family members that I don't talk to regularly. That was like, man, I look forward to it. I have this going on. That going on. You keep me motivated. I even had males respond to it positive, positively. So I just feel like you're going to have those people that comes and tries to s*** on your parade. Again, thank you for responding

Okay? And so I don't like that. But I understand what you're saying. I used to do lives on Facebook all the time, and I stopped doing it. They're still on there. Like, I have them on my page where you can go back and watch them. Sometimes when they come up in my memories, I share them. But I don't do the lives anymore. But I am on TikTok, and so I post stuff on TikTok a lot
