There was a time when all I wanted to do was take a handful of sleeping pills and not wake up. I hated myself because of the mess I had made with my life and I wanted a relationship with a man that really loved me. Do you have issues with your body, and starve or neglect yourself with drugs or alcohol? Are you or one of your friends in a physically abused relationship? Need tips on how to get out? Loneliness led me to bad decisions especially when it came to a man. I had to learn love myself, embrace the person I am and to realize if I did not take care of myself no one else would. I turned lemons into lemonade and so can you.
I allowed my loneliness to dictate what I allowed in my life. If and when I did allow a man in my life I put so much into him, I would lose myself, my self esteem, my own peace and happiness.I even allowed toxic girl friendships to dictate my life.I had to recognize abuse not only comes physical but also mentally from both men and women. Two marriages and many moons later I have finally reached a point where I refuse to allow loneliness to lower my standards in what I expect from a man or anyone more importantly what I expect from myself. Through poetry, I found the therapy I needed and now I want to share with you. I hope that you will enjoy.
