Healing is necessary.

I might still love you, and I might still miss you, but I'm better off without you.

So, I'm closing this chapter of hurt because I deserve to be happy. The only way I'll reach that is by letting go of toxic people …..

Holding on doesn't make me strong, but letting go does. Letting go of whatever hurt me in the past to receive what’s meant for my future……

Sincerely Yours

Unpacking Trauma:

I’m releasing trauma at the core level.

Healing showed me how soft I am & how much I value softness. I'm soft yet strong, softness is my strength. I dont want to keep proving how resilient I am, I just want to be soft at all times. My soul craves a soft life, a soft love. Now I know I can only thrive when I can be soft.

To the woman I was, I love you.

To the woman I am, I’m proud of you.

To the woman I’m becoming, I’m excited for you.

Sincerely Yours,

Saadia Dior

SOMEONE ASKED ME: “What’s the hardest thing you ever done in life?” MY RESPONSE WAS: “Sitting front row at my baby’s Prince’Dior funeral after planning and preparing solely. Attending a funeral is okay because it’s apart of Life. Death is inevitable, but sitting on the FRONT ROW is different at your newborn’s funeral is tragic. It’s personal. It’s intimate ! The five stages of GRIEF– denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. They are often talked about as if they happen in order, moving from one stage to the other. You might hear people say things like 'Oh I've moved on from denial and now I think I'm entering the angry stage'. But this isn't often the case. Grief will make you angry, suicidal and even confused. At times I woke up so low and depressed. Times where I felt defeated and just wanted to give up. I know now that only I am in control of my emotions, life, and happiness. God has forced me to take breaks so many times, because you really have to sit back and trust the process + timing. There’s power in being still. Don’t let the world convince you that you have to be moving all the time. It’s okay to not be okay.

Stop shrinking to spaces you’ve outgrown to make others feel bigger than yourself. A big part of maturing as a woman is knowing when certain things are no longer for you, and knowing when and how to exit gracefully. I am not your competition SIS, I am PROOF it can be done.

Can we discuss how Black Women with strong personalities intimidate others by absolutely doing nothing but being themselves. Reminder to never dim your light. I’m not intimidating, you’re intimidated and there’s a difference. I’m not mean, nor aggressive; I am honest and assertive and that makes you uncomfortable. It’s not ME that makes you uncomfortable, my PRESENCE challenges your comfort. I will not be less for you to feel better about yourself. If my confidence triggers your insecurities, I recommend you take a deep look within yourself and try shadow work.
