uncovering me

The past couple of weeks have been real moments of reflection. The main focus being on when I was at my peak happiness. As I sat reminiscing about the days of old, I began to petition God, asking Him where I went wrong and how I could get back to that place. His answer to me was you sold yourself short, getting in your own way. The goal is not to go back to where you were, it's merely just a matter of uncovering your light so that I can elevate you to where you are meant to be. 

Now that I've gotten you all here, I guess it's time for a more formal introduction. At birth, I was given the name Reagan. I also answer to Aunt Shorty, Dot, Poo, Chuney, Bighead, Stank, Faith, etc. but for sake of this site let's just call me LadyRea. I was raised in the very small town of New Edinburg, Arkansas by my loving parents, Ray and Felicia, alongside my older brother, Jokenzie. Needless to say, the town is not much to talk about, given that it is not listed on any maps, but give me time and I'll make sure to put it there someday. I would say some of my best qualities would include being a strong, smart, independent, highly ambitious, loving, and caring person. But there's also some of my not so good qualities, as I tend to shut people out, put people's needs ahead of my own, self-doubt and insecurities brought forth from past traumas, that have hurt relationships very near and dear to my heart. But let's get down to what makes me, well, me.
