She sang what I been feeling lately. All the men I’ve chose in the past wasn’t worth my time. That’s on me though 🤷🏽♀️. I took my power back though been 6 years celibate no cheats or slips either. I’ve been on my self love journey since 2015 and I’m happy 🥰✨💛 that I found peace within myself

We deserve the type of love that ain't toxic, and no drama. I pray God blessed your soulmate. I'm on a similar journey like you. It's been 4 yrs celibacy for me. I've enrolled back in school at 61 yo and working on my bachelor's.i don't have time for foolishness. Ladies, we can focus on self-care and self-love.🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
