She is Mee

Ten years ago, I walked across the stage and received my first degree. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years! Ten years of navigating the real world, setting goals, making memories, and blowing my own mind daily! I know I said it in my recent blog, but I truly hope the younger me is so proud.

When I graduated in 2013, I was running away from so many things. The life that I had known for the last twenty-one years was changing, and I wanted out. I moved away from home and everything I knew that summer to Rocky Mount, North Carolina. I couldn’t believe I packed up my little Kia with just my clothes and moved 12 hours from the only life I ever knew! Even though I had no idea what was to come in my life, the move in 2013 prepared me for my big move in 2021!

In the last ten years, I have gone to therapy to work through various things in life. Recently, something happened, and I couldn’t believe I wasn’t able to work through it faster. These are the times I have to remember to give myself grace because I am not perfect. Honestly, this situation helped me understand that the healing work never stops. You truly aren’t healed from a situation or feeling until it has resurfaced and you can work through it. As hard as this was, I’m thankful I have the tools to be able to get through it.

Sometimes I’m still amazed at where I am right now in my life. This post is to remind you to give yourself grace, and you are enough! Never let that little negative voice tell you different!

May is Mental Health Awareness month and it’s our time to take back our lives! I’m a firm believer in therapy! If you need help finding a therapist for you here start here: https://therapyforblackgirls.com/
