My first marriage lasted 23 years when we split up. Of course I ignored red flags when we dated because I was young and dumb and in love. Our marriage wasn't all bad. Except she liked to accuse me of cheating. In hindsight I think in order to justify her cheating. Because even though I had plenty of chances to do so. I didn't. The last half of our marriage was more like a marriage in name only. When we split she had been cheating with a guy who was a complete loser. When we split he didn't have a job. Was a convicted felon and a heroin addict. It's like how did she see that as an improvement was beyond me. After all I had been tempted to cheat. And if I had I would have wanted to upgrade. But we got divorced and for the first months I struggled with my emotions. I was raised up going to church and even when I wasn't going I still prayed every day. And would ask God to forgive me. But one night after praying I heard a voice in my head saying. " Pray for her." I knew that it was God telling me to pray for my ex wife. Which of course I didn't want to. But I did it anyway. And at first I didn't feel any different. But over time I did have a sense of peace come over me. God a little while later gave me a vision of myself a little while later. In the vision I was a small donkey loaded down with a load of bricks. And every time I prayed he took a brick away. That's why I didn't feel any different at first. Because it was just a brick. But brick by brick my burden got lighter. That's why forgiveness is important. Forgiveness is letting go of your pain and hurt so you can have peace in your life.

I’ve been through a lot pain, heartbreak, and moments that nearly broke me. The past is full of memories, both beautiful and hard, but I’ve learned that finding peace means forgiving myself and choosing to let go. Life is too short to live in sadness or loneliness. I know love has hurt me before, but I also believe that true love still exists, and when the heart is ready, it will come. I’m not just hoping for love I’m preparing myself for it, mentally, emotionally, and physically. My heart is open again, not with desperation, but with quiet strength and hope. I’m single, healing, and ready to welcome something real. If you feel a connection, don’t be shy send me a message or a friend request. Sometimes, the most beautiful stories begin with the courage to start again

This Christmas will be filled with quiet heartache for one family as they face the season without the man who once brought them together. Nineteen-year-old Amari Goodman is still trying to make sense of life without her father, Dominique Goodman, who passed away earlier this month after a heartbreaking incident outside a fast-food restaurant. She says the reality of his absence comes in waves — some moments feel distant, while others feel overwhelmingly heavy. Amari shared that her father was simply trying to protect her, acting out of the deep love and care he always showed as a parent. While she was at work, a manager began making her uncomfortable. Feeling unsafe, she reached out to her dad for support. What happened next changed her family’s life forever. Her father never returned home that day. The manager took her dad life in the parking lot “I don’t feel ready for Christmas,” Amari said quietly. “It just doesn’t feel the same anymore.” Those who knew Dominique describe him as a devoted and hardworking father who lived for his children. He was raising five kids and was excitedly preparing to welcome another baby into the family. His kindness, dedication, and love left a lasting impression on everyone around him. A close friend and legal advocate, Robert Leanza Williams Jr., shared that Dominique wasn’t just a coworker — he was someone deeply valued and respected. His loss, he said, has been felt by many. An independent investigation is now underway. There are concerns that the person involved may have shown troubling behavior in the past and could have been under the influence while on duty. The manager remains in custody and is facing multiple serious charges. As the holiday season arrives, this family is holding onto memories, love, and the enduring legacy of a father who meant everything to them.

You deserve mornings without dread, nights without replaying conversations, and a heart that isn’t carrying yesterday’s weight.

i wish to God my family was with me I am all alone by myself

Ladies hear me out!! Respect is the true foundation of attraction it is not what you are wearing and how you look !! Trust me when I tell you this a man can handle a lot!!! but nothing hits him harder than being disrespected by the woman he has chosen for himself..When he feels and sees his efforts go unnoticed and when his character gets questioned especially in front of others it doesn’t just hurt his ego it makes him pull back drastically he will stop giving himself freely and not because he’s trying to punish you neither not all men are narcissists but its because he’s protecting himself!! ..He learned to guard his energy instead of investing it in someone who doesn’t appreciate it and then some of you wonder “why don’t you love me”?..Where did the connection go?” ..”you must be cheating!!!”..when the truth is it didn’t just disappear!!..It was chipped away little by little by a lack of admiration and respect!!.. If you want him to give his all again you need to bring back the respect because without it the attraction fades every time…It’s not about ego!..it’s about chemistry…when respect dies so does everything else!!..so before you ask why he pulled away and get all dramatic and abusive ask yourself Am I showing him the respect he deserves? And before you speak check your language and don’t say things you that you can’t take back ! vent before you get frustrated in a healthy way and if you don’t know how too then seek counseling because Respect builds!👉🏽ans Disrespect trains distance! #RespectMatters #RelationshipTruth #Attraction #HealthyRelationships #LoveAndRespect #EmotionalIntelligence

be careful with your circle everyone is not your friend 😔

How many true friends do you have?At first, lots of names may come to mind, but the longer you think about it, that number will likely dwindle. Many of us do not have a great quantity of genuine friends—the ones who remain loyal no matter what. Romans 12:9-14 (KJV) Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. This dependable, intimate closeness is what the LORD wants for us, but it’s a rare treasure. The Biblical account of David and Jonathan (1 Sam. 18:1-30; 1 Sam. 19:1-24; 1 Sam. 20:1-42) can help us learn how to foster such a relationship. Their story demonstrates that genuine friendships are built upon a foundation of mutual respect, love, and authentic commitment. Today, let’s explore the first component. For true companionship, there must be appreciation by both parties of the other’s Godly qualities. This starts with an attitude of valuing all people, knowing that they were created in God’s image and are loved by Him. But at the same time, the regard that David and Jonathan displayed toward one another was greater than mere respect; it revealed admiration for the attributes each had that were commended in Scripture.

The Male Archetypes: From Alpha to Incel (Womansplained) These aren’t all the male archetypes. Just some of the repeat offenders. Broken down. At a certain point, men stop feeling mysterious and start feeling… familiar. The Alpha Arrives loud and certain. Confuses dominance with leadership and calls it honesty. Thrives on hierarchy. Short-circuits when no one defers. Big presence. Paper-thin authority. The Beta Lives adjacent to power but never claims it. Agreeable. Reasonable. Quietly resentful. Swears he’s harmless while enabling everything he claims to hate. You can usually spot him by following the umbilical cord straight to his Xbox. The Player Charming, attentive, and permanently undefined. Says all the right things, avoids all the binding ones. Lives in the present tense. Allergic to labels. Calls everyone babe, homegirl, or beautiful — not intimacy, just efficiency. Not afraid of closeness. Terrified of accountability. The Man’s Man Hyper-masculine. Stoic. Emotionally sealed. Will happily baptize you in professional sports — stats, seasons, legends — instead of saying how he feels. Strength without self-awareness isn’t strength. It’s cosplay. Prince Charming Appears right on schedule when you’re struggling. Sees your pain. Wants to wake you up with a kiss. No sword. No armor. Just sincerity and vibes. A kiss can wake you up. It can’t stand guard. The Incel Defined not by celibacy, but by grievance. Experiences rejection as injustice and disappointment as proof the system is rigged. Wants power without vulnerability and validation without effort. These aren’t insults. They’re patterns. And once you see them, you stop confusing attention with safety, confidence with strength, or intention with action. That’s not bitterness. That’s discernment — womansplained. If there’s another archetype you want womansplained, I’m happy to keep going.

Why are both parents not equally responsible for the financial support of their children? I feel they should be. The issue I have with the way child support is calculated is that often the majority of financial support falls on the parent that makes the most income. If both parents have 50/50 custody, then they should share 50/50 financial support. Otherwise one parent actually ends up financially support the children while the other parent has custody of the children. Shouldn’t both parents equally financially support the children when in their custody? It’s not right that only one parent be financially held responsible for a child they both brought into world.
