This era is called: I’m not chasing closure. I’m moving forward with the understanding that some doors were meant to stay closed.

👤 Kindness matters. Kindness is free. It starts with us.

Everyone is fighting unspoken internal battles that we know nothing about, so always be kind.

In honour of June being Men’s Mental Health Awareness month 👤📦⛓ #FreeYourself ⛓📦👤

Free yourself from the shackles of other people’s unsolicited opinions, judgements, negativities, advices, and projections onto you. These usually have absolutely *nothing* to do with you and more so is a reflection of themselves, their own insecurities and problems. At the end of the day, only you and the Man above truly know who you are, what you are capable of—and that’s all that matters. Lean on Him and his loving grace. Focus on your own opinion of yourself. Embrace and love yourself as you are, right now. You are enough. YOU MATTER. 🫶🏿

How to Return to Yourself Stop performing. Don't overgive. Choose peace over proving. Reclaim the parts you abandoned to be loved. Let it hurt. Feel it fully. Release it. Do your spiritual work. Forgive yourself for surviving in ways you had to. Try not to take anything personally. Zoom out. Remember who you were before they made you doubt it. Protect your energy like it’s sacred, because it is. Choose you... again and again.
