Holding On To The Last Memory Of My Biological Mother

Holding on to the last memory of my biological mother … I am a spinning image of her beauty 😘 this was going to be a beautiful / soul searching moment but weekend plans changed in the blink of an eye. 👀 like the world, I’m feeling unsteady and weak.

Haven’t slept a full night of Zzz for weeks now .. waking up with stress / anxiety / fear / shaken … the world is cold. Only people that you can depend on are your family & friends; my big weekend to meet my biological mother flew so fast in and out … i hardly had the chance to process that i wasnt going to meet her anymore.

I barely know who I am becoming; time changes so quickly … meeting her was my bridge to feel good about myself again. The opportunity will come at the right time .. this wasnt my only shot to develop a relationship with the person who brought me into this world.

All the pain, and hurt is finished. Will be emotional; of course🤒 but times are so tough right now. Im open minded 💖 wish me luck for another shot next weekend .. or the next. However long it takes #lifeofmissydi

It should read like a genuine personal essay — grounded, strong, hopeful, and written in full paragraphs. Life Lately: Finding Purpose Through Change I’ve been meaning to write a life update for a while, but life has [...]
