4 years ago, life changed in a major way for me!
I cried for 365 days and nights, experienced a shattered heart and major mental issues including depression, detachment & abandonment issues, as well as anxiety!
I began my therapy journey but knew that I needed something more - even though therapy was weekly, I was determined to be “stronger today than I was yesterday”! Do you know how HARD it is to pull strength from your inner core just to survive an 8-10 work day when all you want to do is cry and sleep?!?!
2022 was the hardest year of my life - I took an L in so many areas of my life, but I kept going-barely; kept showing up-physically; kept doing - barely and kept draining myself to the point of no return!
This wasn’t a “check on your strong friend” situation! This was truly a LMTFA situation! It was all I could do to breathe,please don’t check on me! My true feelings pushed me into my own little corner of the universe and I stayed there!
So I made a post and sent a text, “I’m NO LONGER the strong friend”! I turned my phone off and slept for an entire day! The next day, I woke up at 5 am, took a shower and while in the shower, I cried and prayed asking God to give me the strength to be stronger today than I was yesterday! I made a shirt (and strongher was born), threw on some shorts and drove to NOLA! My first solo road trip as a SINGLE woman on her healing journey!
The 6 1/2 hour round trip drive to New Orleans jump started ! Strongher - the healing continues! Strongher-the will to live when you want to do nothing more than exist!
Strongher - today is a new day to breathe the breath of life!
Strongher today than I was yesterday!
