I learned my worth the hard way a long time ago. Nothing has ever come easy for me and I’ve fought to become the person that I am today Strong Girl Ravenwolf Quote

 

I learned my worth the hard way a long time ago.

Nothing has ever come easy for me and I’ve fought to become the person that I am today..

So, when I say I know my worth, I’ve paid for it dearly..

In countless broken hearts, dead end relationships and lessons learned the hard way.

Sure, there were times when I wished my journey was a little easier or things went my way more often,

But I’ve learned that everything happens for a reason..

And everything I’ve been through helped me forge a strength that won’t die and a belief in myself that no one can ever take away from me.

So, when I tell you that I’m a keeper, I’m not just talking to hear myself talk..

I truly believe that about myself.

I’m a keeper-

One of the beautifully deep and passionately fiery souls that pour all of themselves into everything they do and everyone they love.

So, I’m standing here telling you that you have the chance to love me.

Not on your terms or mine, but with mutual respect, communication and love.

I’ll never be okay being just an option or will I ever accept fighting for your attention.

So, this is your one chance to love me the way I deserve.

Maybe I’m not the one for you or maybe you aren’t ready..that’s not for me to say.

But if you’re ready to step up and love me the right way, then don’t hold back and don’t mince words.

I’m always going to be a keeper, but I’ll never be the one that begs you to stay and keep me.

It’s up to you to realize that I’m worth it.

I spent all my life reading all the beautiful stories of love, expecting something powerful and unique to sweep me away... And maybe those amazing feelings do happen here and there for a moment, but I always ended up being sad and disappointed at the end... Quote By Ravenwolf- Keep Shining Beautiful

 

I spent all my life reading all the beautiful stories of love, expecting something powerful and unique to sweep me away...

And maybe those amazing feelings do happen here and there for a moment, but I always ended up being sad and disappointed at the end...

Until I wasn't...

And I guess that was always the way it was going to be until you showed up.

My person, the one who was always meant to love me in the ways the others didn't.

Not that they didn't try or mean well, but they weren't you -

Not even close-

And it was always going to be you.

The soul that connected with mine in a way unlike any other.

The person that was my person and my happily ever after.

My future and my home, my safe place in the storms of this life.

The arms that I can always find and lose myself in..and make the world melt away.

There's just something so beautiful, so fulfilling and so true about loving you that it makes me understand why it never worked out with anyone else..

Not because they were bad or wrong-

They just weren't you.

My favorite place, my most real truth and my deepest love,

You've shown me so much and there is still much we have to feel, see and experience..

But I know that all of it, I was meant to do with you.

It's as simple and as complicated as that.

Thank you, MPW, for being all the things you are..

And being so much more than I ever deserved.

It was always you.

I love you.

I’ve had my spirit crushed, my dreams shattered and my heart broken... Ravenwolf Quote

 

I’ve had my spirit crushed, my dreams shattered and my heart broken..

But I’m still standing.

There’s been days when I didn’t think I’d make it through, but I’m that person that doesn’t know how to quit.

Behind my fiery eyes, you’d see the memory of a broken girl that swore she’d never again let anyone take away her dreams.

So, when love tried to break my heart, life tried to burn me down and people tried to tear me apart, I just smiled and kept going.

I’m stronger than anyone will ever know.

It’ll take a lot more to bring me down than bad days, mean people and wrong choices.

I’ve cried countless tears, been hurt too many times and been counted out way too often..

And yet, I still keep getting up, getting better and getting stronger.

That’s who I am and will always be.

I keep high walls around my heart and I’m selective about who I let in, but once you’re in, I’ll be there for you whenever you need me.

I love hard when there’s love to be had, but I don’t sacrifice my self respect for a chance to be loved..

If love doesn’t come to me on my terms, with respect and truth, then I’m walking the other way.

I don’t have time or the patience for games, I grew out of that nonsense long ago.

So, when you see my bright smile and fiery facade, know that it came with a price.

I know my worth, because I paid for it dearly in disappointment, heartbreak and pain..

So, if you want to know me- the real me- be prepared to be patient, honest and passionate..

I don’t do halfway and I don’t give my love easily..like my trust, it must be earned.

I realize that I’m not everyone’s favorite flavor, and I’m good with that..I never set out to make everyone like me.

I like me, and that’s what matters most.

That self love came with a price at the end of a long journey that I’m still walking, and I’m never letting anyone treat me less than I deserve.

So, yes, I’ve learned to dance in broken glass, build castles from shattered dreams and to wear my tears like precious pearls..

But that’s what makes me one of a kind.

I may be a lot of things both good and bad, but I’ll always be..

Proud, strong and unshakable..

Because I fought to become the person I am now..

And I’m never looking back.

Honey, I don't care if you love me or even like me, but you will respect me. I may be a little rough around the edges and maybe not always “appropriate”, but that’s who I am and frankly, it’s part of my charm Quote By Ravenwolf

 

Honey,

I don't care if you love me or even like me, but you will respect me.

I may be a little rough around the edges and maybe not always “appropriate”, but that’s who I am and frankly, it’s part of my charm.

I don't need your approval or judgement of my life.

Love isn't about changing to fit your ideals of what I should be,

So please stop criticizing me or take your opinion elsewhere.

Love doesn't make someone be something they're not, and I’ll easily walk away if you think that’s how this is going to go.

I am beautiful in some of the ways you think I need to change and I don't care what you think I should wear, do, think or say.

This is my life and I’ve fought hard and earned the right to live it as I choose to.

I survived some messed up stuff in my life, and even more than that, I’m standing here, strong, sassy and smiling.

You didn’t know the attitude and zeal that was hiding behind these hazel windows, did you?

There’s much more to this pretty face than a happy smile..

Rather, a whole lot of depth, soul and fire to this gal, so be careful what you wish for.

I’m not just another flavor of the rainbow, I’m all the flavors wrapped up in one.

This is my life and my path.

If you want to walk beside me, I will extend my hand.

If you think you're gonna walk in front of me and look over your shoulder, then think again.

I don't need your love or anyone else's, I’m happy doing life just as I’ve always done it- solo, strong and happy.

I love myself for who I am and that's enough.

If you have a problem with that, then you can hit the road.

If you don't love what I have to offer, someone else will.

You can't change me and neither can love.

I'm perfectly messed up and beautifully flawed just the way I am.

That's my version of love, and come hell or high water,

I’m not settling, sacrificing or changing.

Can you handle my truth?

Lasagna Style Spaghetti 🍝 Squash Recipe Idea

 

Raise your hand 🙋🏼‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️ if you like Italian food 😋

Try this:

Lasagna Style Spaghetti 🍝 Squash 

Ingredients ⤵️

1 spaghetti squash

1 lb ground turkey

2 cups of low carb pasta sauce

2 tablespoons fresh basil

½ cup ricotta cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)

Olive oil or coconut oil

Himalayan salt & pepper

Directions ⤵️

Roasting the squash - you can cook them in an AIR FRYER at 400 for 20 minutes OR Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. 

Wash spaghetti squash, cut off stem and slice squash lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. Brush with oil, season with salt and pepper, and place in baking dish (9×13 works well) with a little water in the bottom of the dish — as the squash cooks, you can add more water if it dries up. 

Roast for 45-60 minutes, depending on squash size, or until inside is soft and easily “fluffs” with a fork. It will look like very tiny spaghetti noodles.

While squash is roasting, brown ground turkey in large skillet over medium heat. Remove turkey from the pan and drain. 

Add sauce to the pan and simmer. Add the turkey to the sauce.

In a bowl, combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and fresh basil, set aside.

When squash is tender, remove from oven and using a fork, scoop, fluff, flake, or scrape, to get the inside of the squash to look like spaghetti noodles. You don’t have to get at ALL of the squash, you can scoop more later when you get to the bottom after it’s been filled and you’re enjoying it for dinner.

Now FILL THEM! Start with a scoop of the red sauce, followed by a layer of the cheese mixture, (you can add extra mozzarella on each layer too!) and repeat the layers until you’ve over filled your squash, ending with a layer of red sauce and then topping them with mozzarella. 

Turn the oven to broil and put them back in to brown up the cheesy top.

Healing from a narcissistic mother isn’t about repairing what she shattered—it’s about creating what she never dared to imagine Dysfunctional Family Quote

 

Healing from a narcissistic mother isn’t about repairing what she shattered—it’s about creating what she never dared to imagine. You’re planting gardens in the cracks of her chaos, watering them with boundaries and tenderness, and learning to trust a voice she tried to drown in guilt. This isn’t just recovery; it’s alchemy.

Bravery is the quiet roar of choosing yourself daily. It’s celebrating your birthday without scanning the room for her sabotage, saying “I matter” without rehearsing her rebuttals, and loving without flinching at the ghost of her punishment. It’s waking up to the realisation that your healing isn’t just for you—it’s for the child who still lives in your bones, and for the generations who’ll inherit peace instead of landmines.

Narcissistic mothers don’t pass down heirlooms; they pass down blueprints for survival in a warzone. But you? You’re drafting new plans. Every boundary is a brick in a sanctuary she’ll never breach. Every joy you claim, every tear you shed not for her approval but for your liberation, is a hammer strike to the chains of dysfunction.

You’re not just surviving her legacy—you’re burying it. From the soil of your courage, you’re growing a family tree where roots mean safety, branches mean connection, and love doesn’t come with a detonator.

I love people who are an honest mess rather than fake perfect Person With Depth Quote
