    Your friend is right...sit with the discomfort, learn how you can deal with it. It will make you stronger. You are young, successful at your job, you have friends, continue your therapy, do things you love and you will see life is full of seasons and you will know how to overcome it. Those moments are parts of life. You got it

    I was gonna say babe, that boy made you hate the city but you don't have to leave because of that. Create new beautiful memories in a place that reminds you of hurt at some point. One day that'll be the only thing you remember about the city, beautiful moments 🤍💐🇿🇦🤗

    Hey Amani!! Love love LOVE your videos! The aesthetics, music selections, and editing is top tier! Just one small request from a new subscriber? Can you overlay your text on top of a box? I am visually impaired (and I know I’m just one person commenting but there may be others) and it’s really hard sometimes to read the text. It doesn’t take away from the video, I just listen to the music and watch you do what you’re doing lol. But I would love to read the text you took the time to include in your video. Just a thought. Keep going!! You got this!! Channel is 🔥

    I LOVE your hair like this. It suits you very well and I see the confidence exuding. I’m happy you saw your pattern because I didn’t want to be negative Nancy to bring it out to you. I’m happy that you are using the disappointments and converting them to BOSS moves. Do not allow these little boss dictate your happiness and decisions! You have so much potential!
    On another note, I was wondering what body spray you use before the gym.

I've been looking high and low for a sherpa jacket with a drawcord! Also, try Orient Express in Vinings for habachi on the next go around, you'll love it! Happy holidays love!

Give her more grace and Love. God will bless you.

It has taken me an entire year to accept it: I still don’t equipped yet to say that I’m fully over it. You aren’t alone in your recovery process and I’m hopeful that both of our hearts will fully heal very, very soon.
