These are my confessions 27:58

3y ago27:58

27:58

Because you’re a Christian, you’re made to feel that your decisions are to be perfect. We were all born into sin, so it’s only natural that we make mistakes.

I call you Friend 31:37

3+ y ago31:37

31:37

The word Friend, is used so loosely. To be honest, many of us do not know what it means to be a friend, simply because we’ve never had one.

I’ll never find the perfect man and I’m ok with that, but I refuse to settle. There are things that I desire in a man or in a relationship that I deserve. When you know better, you do better.

Being single today is definitely hard but when I look back on the way I lose focus and how the depression sets in, I am stronger. Take a look from “what is this teaching me” and not “why is this happening to me”.
