Make love real again.

The way Lauren talks about Nipsey and the words she uses to describe him makes me never want to settle until I find a love that pure. Their love was so beautiful.

Men, take note: she’s reciprocating the energy that was given to her – which means she had a real man. Leaving it at that. No shade.

This is what real love looks like.

Self care.

Self care can be a challenge when you’ve been abandoned.

Abandonment can damage your well being and mental health. How you get through it comes down to the love you have for yourself.

The more love I have for myself means the more I will experience happiness! The more love I have for myself means the less I will allow myself to be destroyed by others. The more love that I have for myself is the more my life becomes fulfilled! The more love I have for myself is the more I am approving myself- I don’t need validation from anyone else! The more I love myself is the less alone I will feel when there is nobody else! The more love I have for myself is the more I stay positive. The more I love myself is the more I blossom with inner beauty. The more I love myself, the more I realize that I am worth every effort. The more I love myself, the more I will accomplish anything I want done! The more I love myself, the more I won’t tolerate being around anyone who tries to bring me down! The more I love myself, the more I WIN!

Love yourself mamas, don’t allow abandonment to stop you from caring about yourself or from keeping your life moving!

Pregnant and alone.

Being pregnant and alone is no fun. The father of my child has decided he does not want the relationship anymore. He couldn’t handle all the problems I was throwing at him due to my crazy pregnancy hormones. I thought he would be around to help me with stuff to prepare for our child, but to my surprise he has completely disappeared out of my life. I thought I woud be able to deal with it but it seems like the closer I get to my due date the more it hurts. I find myself crying everyday. I have been trying to hide my emotions from my friends/family and often at a lost for words when people ask about him..I feel so stupid & I dont know what to say. In my heart I just cant believe the person he turned out to be. How can he be so cold and heartless and move on talking to other females just like that. I hate this feeling but I have no regrets towards this pregnancy at all.

One day, I know that I will look back at being abandoned pregnant and feel so strong. There will be more bad times ahead, but I know I’m strong enough to get through them.

Nobody hides pain better than a mother who is trying to stay strong for her kids.

Daddy If You Hear Me

                   

A baby speaks from the womb about missing his daddy and how hard it is for his mother being a single mom

 It’s dark in here as I swim around in my mommy’s womb. I don’t have eyes to see yet, but I can feel. I can tell my mommy loves me, she tells me everyday. I feel her cold hands warm up as she lets me know she’s there. I feel the vibration of her voice as she sings to me. She eats all my favorite things. Even the stuff she shouldn’t. Her hands let me know I’m safe as they soothe me to sleep. I know my mommy loves me, I can feel it in her touch…

But my daddy’s touch, I hardly feel. I know his hands are soft and warm. His voice is firm, I feel the strong vibrations. I look for him at night, wishing his hands could keep me warm. I listen for him in the morning, wondering if he remembers I’m here.

My mommy feels sad. I sense her pain too. Could it be because she misses my daddy, the way that I do?

I wonder if my daddy loves me. Only his touch can answer that. Does he think of me often or wonder what I look like? Is he excited about me? Does he worry about me or pray for me or dream of me at night?

I wonder if he knows how hard mommy is working to keep me healthy and alive. I wonder if he knows how tired she feels or of her aches and pains that keep her up at night. I wonder if he hears her cry, the way that I do…

So daddy if you can hear me. I need your touch as much as I need mommy’s. I need to feel that you are there, keeping me safe. I want to hear your voice softly soothing me to sleep. I need to know that you love me everyday and that you are happy that I’m here. I need you to comfort my mommy, she needs you more than ever. She needs to be strong and healthy to keep me alive and well. Maybe she feels the same way I do and just needs to feel your touch too or maybe you can let her know you love her and try to understand what she’s going through…

Your unborn son,

Malik
