Letting go. 💫 Moving on.

September 11, 2023Leave a comment

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5‭-‬6 NIV

Move on. Not because it is expected of you but when you are ready. There is no timestamp on healing, no timestamp on grief, and no timestamp on recovery. It isn’t linear.

For over three years, I’ve mourned the complicated loss not only of my significant other but also for the life and future we had planned.

There comes a moment when you must let go and move on for your peace. For your mental stability. For yourself.

There comes a moment when the loss is no longer your identity but embedded in your history.

There comes a moment when the fire that once burned you becomes the very flame that ignites you.

And finally, there comes a moment when your heart looks back with gratitude but looks forward with hope.

And that hope is the very thing that saves you.

There’s light ahead, I promise. Just keep living.

Yes, that’s it.

Some days, even three years later, the complicated grief and weight of it all still cripples me.

My mental health journey has been quite the roller-coaster ride. At times, a whirlwind of emotions, feelings, and thoughts.

Although, at times, life gets pretty dark, I’m grateful for the sweet moments. Very sweet.

Thank you Nate.

My only hope is that my pain is sent out into this world and not returned as void. That my pain serves its purpose and that my story can serve as hope to someone else on their healing journey. Hope. Hope can help save and heal us all.

In 2023, we will come together again to grieve, rage, find joy and comfort in community with one another, and strategize for the fight for a feminist future.

Join. The. Fight.

Women’s Bodies Are More Regulated Than Guns ♀️

June 7, 2023June 6, 2023Leave a comment

Overturning the landmark decision of Roe v. Wade was grossly devastating and disappointing. But one thing we can’t deny is that conservative leaders fiercely pushed, advocated, and strategically lobbied to make abortion illegal. Ultimately, and unfortunately, their efforts succeeded.

Then there’s gun regulation. [insert crickets]

Where is the lobbying to make our country safer? Where is the fierce desire to protect our people? Where is the same energy in regulating guns / firearms?

Devastation after devastation. Tragedy after tragedy. We need gun regulation and not just “thoughts and prayers.” It’s simply not enough anymore.

Disclaimer: I fully support the SECOND AMENDMENT: Right to Bear Arms. Protecting yourself and self-defense are very important.

Hear me out though: The Second Amendment states that as an American citizen, you have the individual right to arm yourself. The amendment also firmly establishes that the government can not infringe upon that right to bear arms and protect yourself.

Why is this right NOT ALSO afforded to women (persons) in their private and personal decision to terminate their pregnancy or not?

It’s twofold: One, stop trying to regulate a woman’s body. Two, regulate and pass federal gun regulation.

P.s.: thank you Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) for signing Commonsense Gun Violence Prevention Legislation to Keep Michigan Communities Safer. Your dedication and efforts are important and necessary. I stand with you.
