Fentanyl is a powerful pain medicine made in a lab (synthetic opioid). Doctors may prescribe it to treat severe pain. Illegal fentanyl is often mixed into street drugs like he**in, co***ne, and m**h. Or it may be added to fake pills made to look like prescription medicines.

Fentanyl is up to 50 times stronger than he**in and up to 100 times stronger than morphine. This means that even a small amount can lead to an overdose, which could be deadly. Illegal fentanyl has added to the rise in overdose deaths in the U.S.

Why is allowing sales in the open without consequences? Why are families losing loved ones due to fentanyl laced drugs being sold in open air drug markets throughout Richmond?

People love to say ā€œyou dodged a bullet,ā€ but for me, it didnā€™t feel like that. It felt like I stood there and took hit after hit, giving chance after chance, holding on longer than I probably should haveā€”until I finally reached a point where I chose myself. Thatā€™s why Iā€™ll never judge anyone for staying, because I understand how hard it is to walk away from som**hing you once believed in. But at the same time, Iā€™ll always remind you that you deserve better than anything that keeps hurting you. šŸ¤

Some people werenā€™t really raised with emotional supportā€”they were just taken care of in the basic sense. They had food, clothes, and som**hing to pass the time, but not always the love, affection, or reassurance they needed. Not everyone grew up being hugged, told ā€œI love you,ā€ or shown what healthy love actually looks like. For a lot of people, home was more about getting through the day than feeling safe, understood, or connected. And that kind of upbringing sticks with you. When you grow up without emotional security, it can affect how you show up in relationships later on. It doesnā€™t make harmful behavior okay, but it can help explain why some people struggle with communication, vulnerability, or letting others get close. Love can feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable when it wasnā€™t som**hing you experienced in a healthy way growing up. Understanding that doesnā€™t mean you lower your standardsā€”it just gives you a little more awareness of why people move the way they do, while still protecting your own peace. šŸ¤

I feel like a lot of people are so used to toxic patternsā€¦ they almost normalize it.

Meanwhile, Iā€™m over here trying to unlearn every toxic habit Iā€™ve ever picked up.

I donā€™t want to argue all the time.
I donā€™t want to be disrespectful, shut down, or act cold when things get hard.
I donā€™t want to second guess love or constantly feel on edge.

I actually want som**hing peaceful.

I want to communicate better.
I want to take accountability when Iā€™m wrong.
I want to be emotionally aware, supportive, and gentle with the person I care about.

Because love isnā€™t supposed to feel like a battle.

Itā€™s supposed to feel safe.
Consistent.
Real.

And Iā€™ve realized that in order to have that kind of loveā€¦

I have to be intentional about who Iā€™m becoming too.

Because real love doesnā€™t thrive in chaos.

It grows in peace. šŸ¤šŸ’Æ

At some pointā€¦ youā€™ve got to stop overthinking everything and just move. Get out of your head for a second. Get out of your feelings. Get out of your own way. Because a lot of the timeā€¦ itā€™s not confusion. Itā€™s hesitation. You already know what needs to be done. Youā€™ve just been talking yourself out of it. Telling yourself ā€œIā€™ll do it later.ā€ ā€œIā€™m just tired.ā€ ā€œIā€™ll start tomorrow.ā€ But letā€™s be realā€¦ tomorrow has been waiting on you. And that comfort zone? It feels goodā€¦ but itā€™s keeping you stuck. Sometimes itā€™s not about motivationā€” itā€™s about discipline. Doing what needs to be done even when you donā€™t feel like it. Start with the hard things. Handle what youā€™ve been avoiding. Because the longer you wait, the heavier it feels. And the truth isā€¦ no one is coming to do it for you. But thatā€™s not a bad thing. Because you donā€™t need savingā€” you just need to lock in. Do it messy. Do it tired. Do it unsure. Just donā€™t keep standing still. Your future self is counting on you to stop playing smallā€¦ and start showing up. šŸ’Æ

"... they are little lollipops when what you're created for is the whole candy store."

This month's book club book was recommended by an acquaintance and I'm so glad I said yes.
