Dear me, Happy Birthday to you 💕 I fu*king love the woman I’m becoming. It’s giving me chills. She knows her worth. She’s got BOUNDARIES. She’s motivated and ready to make it all happen. I’m sorry that you tried desperately to fix others while not saving some love for yourself. I’m sorry that you were trying to heal others and seal the wounds of your loved one while forgetting to keep even a little love for yourself. I’m sorry that you gave all of your time and effort to people that only gave you what they wanted but not what you needed. I’m sorry for allowing you to see the red flags but still choosing to stay. Zelie, remember anyone who forces you to sacrifice continuously doesn’t honestly care about you. They only need your light until they are filled. I PROMISE my next relationship; we will destroy each other’s illusions, emotionally support one another, master the art of communication, hold each other accountable, honor the inner child and create a safe space for INDIVIDUAL healing. I’m not fully healed, and I’m unsure when I will be, but I owe it to myself to be happy again. I will not shrink my capacity to love those that cannot love me the way I DESERVE to be loved. Zelie, you took on so much that was NEVER yours to carry, and now I’m giving it to God. Certain things I decided to present to you guys, but as you know, I’m a private person. I hate having my life on social media, but this is the life I chose... Happy Birthday to me 🎊 Photographer @ashstreenaphotos Hairstylist @atlwiginstall @beautybyjil
