My Love Pieces

Took a trip Vegas with my mom and I was looking at other couples like: Awwww,  I wanna go on a couples trip to Vegas -not remembering that I went on, not only one but two couples trips and the recent one being only 6 months ago.  Break ups are hard. Right?  It’s like especially the longer you have been with someone. Realizing and needing to understand that people literally come into our lives for reasons and seasons.  He’s always been around. Been stuck in the back pocket - but so have I. I allowed myself to constantly be accessible as well. However, I knew this was last time though. This was the final straw. I’m not the type to have male friends like that, especially at this point in my life. And this one, we dated in the past for some reason always kept in touch; things always ended nicely, so he remained a constant what if.  Well the final time came along but unfortunately it still wasn’t right.

 Soooooooo....  The Hiatus is up. The writing is back. I am getting back to me from years ago. I never thought I would go through this type of journey but I realized the hold up was very simple. Me; and a laptop. My Macbook is soooo old and needed to be updated and I didn't want to use my work laptop to blog so....

These last couple of months, hell years have been extremely crazy! The world shut down. We went through a pandemic. People lost lives, jobs, everything but as life teaches us, it must go on.  I am ready to share.  THE GOOD and the BAD and UGLY  Whew - enjoy these pieces

The lack of maturity started to blossom and the rela
