Disappointment is one of the most difficult emotions to process through, especially when the stakes are high and deeply personal. When I try to bypass my feelings I only end up an anxious powder keg, ready to explode (or implode) with all I’ve held in. The only way out is through. I’m processing, and looking forward, and not back, leaving space for hope. I cannot let patriarchal pressures crush me again. I will not allow it. I move forward, seeking better things and tending to my heart. Love yourself first and let yourself feel.
Love, Cheri
