You Are Not A Tree

"A leopard cannot change its spots," I said.
"True," she replied.  "But we aren't leopards, are we?  We are people.  Don't we all possess the ability to grow and change?  Isn't it unfair to suggest someone can't?"
I looked at my hands for a very long time.  "It's just so painful when you find out they don't."
"Well," she replied, "if you are not happy where you are, then leave where you are.  You are not a tree, my dear."

Thus began my journey.

This blog will be about my daily struggle with myself, my pride, my inner demons, my ego, my heart that cares too much for people who do not deserve it and not enough for those who may deserve much more, and my relentless pursuit for happiness.

I am addicted to love.  I am addicted to companionship.  I am addicted to men who cannot possibly give me any of those things due to issues of their own. I am struggling to find my way in this big world.  I am determined to do it on my own.  "I'm not a princess.  I don't need saving.  I am a Queen.  I got this shit handled."

My hope is this blog will help me to heal and in doing so, may also help someone else out there as well.

By grace, may we all be healed.
