“Falling in love“
Now we all have been in love at some point in our lives or at least thought we were, because we allowed our emotions to jump headfirst. However, love is a beautiful feeling that creates a form of emotional completion. Nevertheless, we have to understand that when we allow ourselves to fall in love, it renders us somewhat vulnerable to that other person. Some of us may develop an emotional vulnerable ness that can strengthen us at the end of a relationship or have us even more vulnerable towards the next relationship.

About the Book
When reality hits is a self-strengthening and relationship guide for women who are just too in love to see past love and just need that push towards reality. I can’t express enough how we women can become our own enemy in how we are being treated in relationships…Where are we going wrong?
I am sharing stories of how I have been caught up in relationships that gotten me nowhere and just felt the need to express my struggles, advise and how it allowed me to become stronger. I do not call myself a relationship specialist. However, I am a woman that has been hurt, used and abused by men. By the grace of God, I have learned a lot along the way, which have shaped my woman hood into the woman I am today. I am not expressing my experiences to you all for anyone to judge me, but more so to learn from my mistakes.
I decided to name this book “When, reality hits, because I have made the mistake of loving the wrong men. I have allowed myself to become too vulnerable, I put up with men bullshit out of loneness and gave too much of myself, when most did not even deserve what I had to offer. At one point, I started to notice I just could not become the women I needed to be, because I was too focus on becoming the woman they needed me to be. However, when reality had finally hit that’s when I became stronger, I have written this book, not to beat men down or have us women to power trip. However, to empower you all to start utilizing and committing to the strength God instilled in us and stop looking for love to be our every purpose…love can see you through, but strength will get you through.
