The hurt within the pain


That sad weird moment when people judge you because they sadly don't understand you.

What can I say other then you haven't walked a mile in my shoes and I honestly don't want you to because I don't want you to experience the pain that I've gone through the pain that I have to deal with or the debilitating pain that I go through on a daily basis emotionally, mentally and physically. 

Just know that I love you and that although you don't understand why I do what I do it's not okay to judge me or mistreat me or treat me like I am any less than you because it hurts me, I am human and have feelings too and like it hurts you when I'm doing something that you think is hurting me, please know in a way it is helping me, but it actually hurts me when you don't understand how it is helping me.

Self love is not selfish.


How can I say I love myself yet not take care of basic needs I have, constantly keep neglecting myself because I keep giving and giving to others and leaving myself and my needs for last.

It is something that I have come to terms with that I have to work on because no one can love me better than I love me, no one else can do a better job of taking care of myself so I must do it. There's no one, no one can take care of you the way you can take care of you. 

Picture is a throwback of young Glendy in Cuba celebrating my 7th Birthday I believe. Had no idea what this world was going to be like or what my life would turn out to be like. I acquired this gem this past January as I was in Cuba back at the motherland at my grandmothers house, it was such a sweet time. I loved everything about going back, yes I was now going back as an adult, I hadn't been there or seen my family in 12 years so it was truly amazing, heart warming and eye opening seeing things differently. I loved it so much I am going back in May God willing for my cousins son's birthday! I am beyond thankful that I get to go visit them and spend time with them as the family grows and love them and receive their genuine warm love! 

I'll leave you with some pictures because I have to practice what I preach and I have to make breakfast since I just work up so I can continue to feel good and energized to do everything this beautiful day has to offer! 

Much love & peace, 

Glendy Rocha

Finally reunited with my Designer/Artist cousin who inspired me and helped me believe in going after your dreams even if they were different.
