Born to Blossom, Bloom to Perish

Love doesn’t hurt.

I guess it’s time to face thoes demons I’ve tried to avoid for so long due to the RiRi/Chris Brown situation. And the fact I have a friend who is in a similar situation makes me relive thoes god awful memories..

Ever since I was a little girl my mom had always taught me that love is patient, love is kind.. you know the scripture.. and now I’m realizing that love now a days is far from thoes things. People are so quick to slap on the word love to a relationship that it’s almost losing all meaning. 

Girls, Oprah said it best.. Love does not hurt. If he’s hurting you, he doesn’t love you. Stop making excuses for him. He’s not a good person, he doesn’t care and most of all its not because he loves you. It’s because he has his own demons he’s fighting inside and you are the scape goat. I’ve seen it with my own 2 eyes. I saw someone I love to pieces get beat, slapped, yelled at, torn down and everything else you can think of for over 5 years. That is not love. 

The RiRi/Chris Brown situation has shed little light on domestic violence. It needs to be brought to peoples attention, light needs to be shed on it and it needs to be taken out from under the rug. It’s very real, it’s an epidemic, and it’s only going to get worse.

It is possible to break free of the situation. Is it hard too? Is it going to take guts and strength you never knew you had? Absofuckinglutely. But you need to do it for you. It can be done, but will only be done when you are so far pushed over the edge you’re almost falling off.. and if you’re not careful you will fall off…

So many voices inside of her head
Saying over and over and over,
“You deserve much more than this.”
She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide
Covering the cuts and bruises
