More than a woman keeps this place alive
Inhaling, exhaling to help us survive
Heart pumping to maintain an even flow
Cultivating our dreams, helping them to grow
Eyes full of color during the black and whites
Rising in the mornings, sustaining through the nights
Not just any woman can do what I do
It’s all because I belong to you

Haha… You’re so sweet to ask me such questions. I suppose it’s because I don’t feel worthy of such beautiful words. Maybe it’s my insecurities.. I’ve never been able to accept a compliment. I’m trying to work on it : )

Sorry for the confusion. You said that I was sweet for asking such questions and I responded to that by saying that I was curious, that’s all.

I was saying you’re sweet to ask such questions because it made me believe that you thought it was odd I would feel that way. I’m truly not very complicated. I’m actually very simple : )

I love that Pat Benatar song. 🎶🎼 All of the above referenced moments in your GIFs feel like lost memories. I guess it’s what happens when a girl grows up. 💔💘

I love Pat Benatar ❤️ She has always been
someone I admired growing up. She sang with strong conviction and always had inspiring songs.
This piece I wrote a few years back. I recall writing it when life was chaotic for me but Always making sure it was never felt by my husband. Having young children and feeling exhausted was something I never wanted him to feel.
I did my best to be the best mother and wife I could be. I’m sure I failed at times but I tried to never allow him to
Feel neglected. It seems I must not of tried hard enough. Thank you for always having encouraging words for me. You’re amazing, sweet friend. ❤️

Carisa, if there’s one thing I know about you, is that you’re selfless and giving of your entire soul to whomever you meet. You did more than your best. You’re an angel, which means you’ll transcend. Remember that when you feel like you’re going down.
