What I’ve learned…

I’m 47 and I’ve learned several things about myself. I used to be meek and put up with so much shit it was unreal. I’ve been beaten severely, but wasn’t broken. I found my power, my strength, and an insatiable need to survive. But not just survive, but to be happy, successful, independent, and take no more shit. Life has been hard. I’ve learned to stand my ground and stick up for myself. I’ve learned life is too short to up with bullshit from people you don’t need to. I’ve learned it’s okay to cut toxic people, friends or family, out of your life. I’ve learned money doesn’t buy happiness but it keeps you from remaining homeless. I’ve learned I’m beautiful and sexy and it doesn’t matter what anyone says. I’ve learned not to let life pass me by. I’ve learned Time is short, time is fleeting, and absolutely nothing, nothing is forever. I’ve learned if I’m not happy then I need to get off my ass and change whatever is not making me happy. I’ve learned you have to fight for what you want, nothing is freely given. If it’s too good to be true, it is. It only took me 38 years to wake up and when I did, I became renewed and started my life over. Life truly is what you make it. I live my life with no excuses and no regrets. I own my shit. I don’t care if someone doesn’t like me, in my bubble there is no room for petty child games. I love my life and wouldn’t change it ♥️
