"People can not change who you are and what you were born to be." - Iyanla Vanzant
Words cannot describe or express how much I appreciate your response to the last post. The feedback was humbling to say the least. I mean, I didn't know, and I still don't know, what kind of response I expected, but what I got was beyond my expectations. It literally blew my mind! Thank you a million times and more. You all are more than amazing!
I could not have prayed for a better audience. You all came on here to read the post, you commented on Google+, Facebook, and everywhere I could be reached. Some of you who know me personally even went as far as calling my phone to know how I was doing. I am beyond grateful for the love and support. Thank you very much!
While writing that post, my main intention was to share a part of me with you with the hope that I could help someone out there who was going through the same, if not a similar, thing as I was going through. To save someone from drowning in the endless cycle of pain and mistakes just as I did. I didn't consider how it would all happen, but I knew that telling my story was a start.
And what a great start it was! I not only connected with other people who were living through different types and levels of pain, but sharing my personal growth story gave me a type of peace that I've not had in a while. I don't know how to explain it but all your support gave me a boost to see life in a different, more attractive light.
You all did more for me than you know. Actually, you all did more for me than I set out to do for you. And that has put me on my toes. That has motivated me to go all out to do more, and be more, for you. This is not just a statement, it's a commitment to be here for every single one of you. Just as that last post was written from a place of love, this commitment is made with love.
For every one of you who is going through a really painful time, I might not be able to take all that pain away at once or all together, but with your help, I will be here to go rid of, and through, it all with you. For those whose skies are gray, we would paint it blue together. For those in tears, we would stop the tears together.
We would get through this journey of life and enjoy it. But we can only do that when we support and build each other up. And the best way to do this is together. With all of us, standing tall next to each other, helping each other write our individual personal growth stories, and helping each other make the necessary commitments to see those stories take shape.
There will be times when we won't understand what we are doing, or, we even forget why we are doing it. But if we do it together, it will all be easier to figure out. And at the end, we will all be thankful for this journey of life and the pain that brought us all together. But it can only happen if you let me in, and let me walk through this life next to you.
Do have yourself a great weekend!
