Taking up space without apologizing. Needs and boundaries are not flaws, they are how I care for myself. I do not need to be smaller to be accepted.

Happy Birthday, H!

Same time, same day last year, I was sad and disappointed with everything that had happened. But eventually, I realized it was a waste of time to dwell on things I couldn’t change. I took my time to heal from then until now. I spent a lot of time reflecting on everything: the “what could’ve been”s and the “what should’ve been”s. I questioned myself wondering if I was the problem, if I was toxic, if that was really me. I blamed myself for something I didn’t even do, just because I was framed.

So I chose to focus on myself and spend more time with my family. And then this year came. I learned something connected to what I had healed from but the difference now is that I’ve moved on. It still affected me in some ways, but not nearly as badly as it did last year.

It’s funny how, when you’re in the middle of something so devastating, you keep asking yourself if you’ll ever come out of it alive. But look at me now, living my best life with ZERO REGRETS. It was hard, yes, but at least it’s no longer the same pain as before. I just realized one night that I was already living and sitting on one of my answered prayers.

To everyone fighting their silent battles: life gets better. It REALLY does.

It's okay to be having a hard time. Sometimes we focus so much on things that we can do to feel better that we forget that it's okay to not be okay for a moment.

Even if it doesn't seem like it right now, things will get better - I can promise you that. I don't know you or what you've been through, but I know that you've been strong enough to make it through every so far, and that you're strong enough to hang on.

Even if you don't believe in yourself right now, I believe in you.

Can we talk?

i think sometimes it's really important to recognize your limits. while it's great to try and always push yourself to be better and push your limits, it's also super easy to get burnt out by doing so. recognize your limits. some days you will have the energy to push past them, and some days you won't—that's okay! it's important to find a balance between pushing yourself while also allowing yourself rest.
