Why I Chose Myself:
Healing Through Honesty
Divorce isn’t just a separation from another person; it’s a seismic shift that reshapes your entire identity. At the climax of my divorce, loneliness was crushing, even though I wasn’t physically alone. I found temporary solace in connections that reflected my chaos. While those choices weren’t perfect, they were exactly what I needed to survive the storm.
I now recognize that we sometimes choose imperfectly because that's the best we can do at that moment. Forgiving myself for the things I did wrong—owning my truths without excuses—was pivotal to my healing journey. By confronting my lowest moments with brutal honesty, I paved the way for true self-love and profound personal growth.
Today, my warrior spirit shines because I dared to embrace authenticity, owning my story with courage. And you can too. For support on healing after divorce, visit Black Lesbian Love Lab and Therapy for Black Girls.
