I’ve had to navigate a multitude of deeply intense tragedies these past 5 months and reconciling with myself that either way it goes life won’t be the same. I’ve had to face some of my toughest fears and painful calls, seeing things I couldn’t ever prepared myself for. life has not been gentle on me and mines at all but as God would have it it’s better to be a Warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. I’m so thankful for my mom and sisters, deeply blessed to have each other through these moments. and choosing to still see the magic of life amidst tragedy is not easy mentally, emotionally, nor spiritually but what else can you do? death in any form is transcendent yet still a tragedy.
Job 13:15 “Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him.”
I also want to express and extend my gratitude to those who have extended their generosity, mercy, kindness, and grace to me these past few months especially my big sister, Kiesh. she championed me, big sistered me, prioritized me, and loved me so exceptionally until the end and now in a newer form. and while some knew, many didn’t and have no idea what it meant and means to me the way y’all made some of my worst days just a little softer to land on.
this lifetime could never take her light, her passion, or her joy and I truly am because she was and forever will be and that goes for me and my few. thank you God to know sisterhood, love, magic, and such incredible beauty in this life. so when you see me see her.
love always, Tysida 💖
