Hey Lovies!!!
Usually, I start the blogs with an apology due to my lack thereof, of putting out content. This time, I can't and I won't apologize. The break was needed. It was necessary and mandatory for me to take. My blogs contain A LOT of personal things about Moeneak. Not that I mind, because I made the conscious decision to have it that way BUT with that came with a lot of feedback. More positive than negative but nevertheless; feedback that I wasn't asking for nor looking to receive.
My endometriosis blog and my divorce story were my largest viewed and shared blogs. And for that, I am forever thankful. I want people to know the importance and struggle that comes with living with endometriosis and I wanted people to know that if you're in a bad marriage, or any kind of situation that you don't want to be in that it's okay to remove yourself from that.
My blogs started out with no direction. I just wanted a platform and a space to be free to have my thoughts and feelings on paper while sharing with the world a little positivity, love and light! Besides, there's already enough hate and negative energy in this world without me adding to it. I had many requests for natural hair information in which I didn't mind sharing. I love all things natural hair related. Then things took a turn when I was asked to be more transparent. And I started receiving emails asking about advice on different things. And I don't mind doing that either.
My only objection is this is my platform. My space to be free. My space to be Moeneak and use my voice. And I won't be limited or told what I can and cannot say on my own platform. If you like what I put out and you want to stay and follow my journey then by all means, sit down, grab a snack and enjoy. Because, anything dealing with Moeneak is a journey. Lol. And if you find out that I'm just not your cup of tea and you want to leave...that's fine too. I often tell people....I am not for everyone. Nor do I want to be.
At 1 month and some change shy of turning 30 years old, I am realizing now more than ever the importance of being surrounded by all things positive. All things growing, evolving and changing. 2016 was a rough year for me. More than ever. Some of the things and people that I LOVE the most were taken away from me in the blink of an eye. Family members died, friendships were shattered and unsalvageable, friendships were mended or so they appeared, my masks were removed and others as well, I learned Moeneak again. I freed myself from what the world and others thought and wanted me to be. I distanced myself from so called friends, coworkers, and basically the entire world. Lol. I surrounded myself around a small group consisting of 1 of my best friends (Tiana), my amazing fiancé (Vincent) and my family. ALL of them and got back to the basics. The basics of who I actually was. Not via what someone else wanted me to be. I needed a change. And I wanted a change. And a change I received. Often times, we have a plan and we've all heard about how my plans just don't work for my life. Lol. I've come to find out that the people and things that I thought I needed more than anything....I really didn't need at all. I'm doing just fine without them. I was comfortable with them. And comfort is a beautiful thing. The only problem is there's never any growth in comfort. Change requires you to get uncomfortable! So don't be afraid of it. Trust the journey. And trust your ending!!
I love you!!!
Moeneak😘
