Panterablack - G R O W T H.

I’m so resilient. When I tell you that I’ve been through the bowels of hell, I mean it. Horrible things. And the worst part is that I had to pick myself back up every single time. No emotional, physical, or financial support. With odds stacked against me every single time. When I say that you can do anything I really mean it. Do good. Be a good person. Be a strong person. Have faith. Believe in yourself. Trust yourself. Trust God.

Has anyone else been thinking about marriage?

Being intentional about who you date is important! And it saves you time and heart break. Remember ladies: we get to choose who we fall in love with ! If you don’t like where you are then you can choose to leave

if you’re dating a man who has made it CLEAR that marriage is not in his plan (either now or in the future) , it is not your job to convince him or wait around for him to change.

This is why is is so important to know what you want BEFORE you start dating. If you want marriage and kids and he doesn’t… ✌🏾. This saves you the unnessicary trauma bonding and releases you from a scarcity mindset. You never want to let desperation lead you to constant compromise at the expense of your own happiness.

You also never want fear to lead you away from something that was meant for you. Keep your heart open, standards high and mind clear 🤍
