💔🕊️ On My Own – Affirmation of Strength & Solitude 🌙

I live with grace in the silence I never asked for. 🌅💔🕊️🌴😔

Frenchie Grignon

Affirmation inspired by:

“Now, I know what loving you cost / Now we're up to talking divorce, and we weren't even married”

From the song “On My Own” by Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald, as played on BestOfMUsicRadio.com

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So many times

Said it was forever

Said our love would always be true

Something in my heart always knew

I'd be lying here beside you

[Chorus]

On my own

On my own

On my own

[Verse 2]

So many promises

Never should be spoken

Now, I know what loving you cost

Now, we're up to talking divorce

And we weren't even married

[Chorus]

On my own

Once again, now

One more time

By myself

[Verse 3]

No one said it was easy, no

But it once was so easy

Well, I believed in love

I believed in love

Now, here I stand

[Chorus]

I wonder why, ooh, I'm on my own

Why did it end this way? (On my own)

This wasn't how it was supposed to be (On my own)

I wish that we could do it all again

[Verse 4]

So many times

I know I could have told you

Losing you, it cut like a knife

You walked out, and there went my life

I don't want to live without you

[Chorus]

On my own

This wasn't how it was supposed to end

On my own

I wish that we could do it all again

On my own

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone

By myself

Oh, on my own

[Outro]

I've got to find out where I belong again (On my own)

I've got to learn to be strong again (On my own)

I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone (By myself)

By myself, by myself

[Outro]

I've got to find out what was mine again (On my own)

My heart is saying that it's time again (On my own)

And I have faith that I will shine again (By myself)

[Outro]

Oh, I (On my own)

Have faith (On my own)

In me, oh (On my own)

I know I'll make it (By myself)

By myself, by myself

Held by Love: Daily Affirmations for Mental Wellness

Image
Some burdens are invisible by design. They live in the quiet pause between conversations. They settle into the body long after the mind has moved on. And sometimes, they become so familiar we forget to name them — let alone share them. The weight we never speak of is often the one that shapes us most. It appears in the way we hesitate before trusting. In the tension we carry in our shoulders. In the instinct to say “I’m fine” when the truth is “I’m exhausted.” These unspoken aches rarely announce themselves. They linger. They thicken. They become a second skin. And yet — healing does not always require articulation. Sometimes, healing begins with presence. My affirmation “ I am held by love that eases even the weight I never speak of ” is not about solving or exposing those unspoken wounds. It’s about something gentler: permission. The permission to soften. The permission to be held — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. This is not a love that demands we explain ou...

🔥 What I Haven’t Said—Until Now 💬

Image
Some gifts look like love but turn out to be traps. As I enter this stage of life, people begin expecting things they have no right to demand. My time. My energy. My savings. My health. Even my voice. I’ve willingly given these away, believing it would secure a deeper place in my children's hearts or those around me. But the truth is, if I keep giving away what I should protect, I risk losing myself. I’ve noticed recently how often people assume my availability just because I’m retired. Suddenly, I’m the default caregiver, errand-runner, emotional support. And at first, I say yes—because that’s who I’ve always been: dependable. But each "yes" to others becomes a quiet "no" to myself. A friend recently said something that stopped me cold: “I don’t even know what I like anymore. I’ve always been useful to others—but when did I last do something for myself?” Her words resonated deeply. She’s not alone. Many of us were trained to serve but never taught to ask, ...
