Woo hoo! We made it through another Valentines Day Y’all! 🙌 Remember…holidays are NOT always easy for everyone!  There are those who don’t feel worthy of love, those who are looking for love, missing their love, afraid to say who they love, have lost their love, etc!

I shared a few months ago that I am a survivor of domestic abuse of all shapes and forms…STILL healing. I escaped the abuse by moving states 5 years ago.  However, it’s still hard for me to allow another male into my life.  I’m not going to lie….even holding hands is a bit scary!  As much as I want to find my lifelong adventure buddy…I’m not there yet.

So…this year for Valentines, I went fly fishing with my mom (dad was out of town). I caught 3 fish (including fish in pic) and after that my panic attacks from my past trauma did a sneak attack.  My mom and I had to leave almost as soon as we got there even though it was an hour away! There is NOTHING worse to me than having panic attacks while doing things I love to do!!! I apologized over and over to my mom and she told me to stop everytime.  She still loved me.  I am worthy of love and deserve to be happy and healthy! So do you! 💖

I had to share this experience to help someone going through the same thing or to help others who aren’t going through it understand.  Don’t forget to check in on others who you may not have had a chance to speak to during yesterday’s festivities! Love you all! 💖
