This is the truth I’ve been afraid to admit, the rawness I’ve tried to hide for too long… I’m DONE pretending to be perfect. This is me—real, not perfect.
I’m a Black woman. A wife. A mother. A veteran. Someone who’s been carrying the weight of expectations for years, and somewhere along the way, I forgot how to be ME. But today, I’m taking off the mask.
It’s time to embrace my imperfections. The messiness, the struggle, the unfiltered parts of myself that I’ve hidden out of fear of judgment. Battling depression isn’t something people talk about enough, but I’m here to say—it’s real. And yet, here I am, fighting to be better. Fighting to grow. Fighting to love myself through the highs and the lows.
This is my journey of self-love. My journey of self-care. Not the Facebook-perfect version, but the real one—the one with flaws, scars, and lessons learned along the way.
I’m introducing the Gorgeously Imperfect category for My World My Storm. This is about embracing who I truly am, unapologetically. No more hiding. No more pretending.
Because in my world, perfection isn’t the goal. Being real is what matters most. 💪🏾❤️
