Broken yet whole

I am:

- Banké - the shy and timid, little Ms nice girl 珞☺

- Fey (Felicia) - the boisterous, fun and goofy 藍

- Olivia Pope - the fixer, boss lady, whip cracker, karate chopper. The no nonsense part of me.

- Michael Ross - the smart one

AND

- Storm  - the bold and adventurous. Motocyclist, mountain climber, hiker, traveler.

All small pieces of a greater whole.

I joke about them being my multiple personalities - different parts of me that show up depending on the situation - sorry to my friends who have experienced all in one conversation 藍藍.

I have always wondered? - was I born this way or were they birthed as a result of a need to adapt to the world I was thrown into? Basically to survive. Who knows... I want to be done psycho-analyzing myself. All I know is I feel like multiple persons in one body - nothing psychotic here, let's not go there (if anyone is reading this). But has anyone ever accepted the fact that God may have made us this way? i.e. multiple persons in one.

We just discover them as we adapt to our world, almost like  -  the amoeba, the chameleon - adapting to blend,  adapting to survive.

I have always let myself feel like a misfit in many circles -

Home - only girl growing up amongst boys

Elementary school - timid me, amongst bullies

Boarding school - city girl amongst country folks

University of Ife - church girl amongst heathens - hahaha!

Morris Brown College, Atlanta GA - African girl amongst African Americans

Georgia Tech - black girl,  amongst white folks

Houston, TX - Georgian amongst Texans

Goldman Sachs, New York - oh lord! What a journey that was...where do I start.

Some may call it broken, I call it adaptable, all small pieces of a greater good whole. Isn't our heavenly father the same? - God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. Multiple personalities of a greater GOOD, LOVING being.

Psychology gives it labels:
- MPS
- ng
- gif
- Broken

I CHOOSE to call it small pieces of a greater good whole.

The wound is the place where the light enters you

The wound is the place where the light enters you, a quote from the movie. A wrinkle in time. I go to court tomorrow for my final trial. Its been 11 years of marital hell, 3+ years of divorce hell and torture. Do I know this to be true? Does a light really shine through my wounds? According to Oprah, she says about this quote, "there is not one single difficulty you experience that will be wasted. Everything is showing up to make you who you were meant to be."

2022 - year of self care

All my life I have never been able to take naps during the day. My mind won't stop churning, head won't stop thinking. This has not been the case lately to my pleasant surprise...God be praised! Following the emotional and psychological catastrophic end to 2021, I purposely declared 2022 a year of self care. No major goals to pursue, no side hustle to keep me running. Is this why its been easier to nap during the day? Not sure,  I doubt it because even as a child/youth with no major life goals or side hustle, I could not nap during day. To what end is our endless toil? To what end my relentless life goals pursuit? This is what I have been thinking a lot about this year. I set up and run a successful business so that? ...I can make money and retire early? So that, I can feel fulfilled? So that I can feel like I lived up to my potential? If I were to unpack each of this: So that: I can make money and retire early, so that I can own my time, so that I can spend that time doing mor

A typical day with my beloved

12/14/2017 Another day in court. 2 years, 2 months, 19 days and counting and each time I am in awe at how ugly love got…how looong and drawn out the wicked high conflicts divorce process has been. All manner of grace rewarded with all manner of vindictive actions.  All manner of emotions, all manner of responses…all have come full circle. Is this the process of becoming numb? To think there was once Love…was there ever? à One wonders when love goes south. How can Love, Hope and Sacrifice yield such selfish evil in return? Only God knows. I wondered if perhaps I had sinned…perhaps it is sin that led me here because such plain evil cannot just happen in a vacuum. Experts however say sympathetic people ending up with narcissists is more common than there is awareness of. Matter of fact, it is such guilt prone thinking that makes them perfect bait to the skillful blame deflector. To the naive, unsuspecting people: walk carefully, date cautiously for the narcissist lurks around - a wol
