It’s time to get clear about what you want.
It’s time to get clear about what you need.
It’s time to get clear about what you value.
It’s time to get clear about what you deserve.
It’s time to get clear about who you are.
You become happier when you realize that no one belongs to you. Only you belong to you. Real love is not possessive; it’s appreciative, respectful of individuality, and reciprocal.
Healing makes you lose interest in many things you once connected with. Not even out of sadness, but out of finally seeing people and things for who and what they really are.
Be intentional with your heart.
Be intentional with your words.
Be intentional with your thoughts.
Be intentional with your time.
Be intentional with your energy.
Be intentional with your life.
The lack of respect was the closure.
The lack of apology was the closure.
The lack of care was the closure.
The lack of accountability was the closure.
The lack of honesty was the closure.
Please don’t ever abandon yourself again. Especially not in the name of trying to be seen, heard, and validated by a temporary connection. Stop holding on to things that don’t demonstrate respect for your value. You deserve so much more.
Love is not enough.
It’s about respect.
It’s about follow-through.
It’s about safety.
It’s about value.
It’s about honesty.
It’s about consideration.
It’s about appreciation.
It’s about reassurance.
It’s about care.
Say it with me:
Everything I go through, I get through, I grow through. Everything that exits my life is always replaced by something even better. I never lack.

I hope you get to experience that "I made you a playlist," soft kind of love. Love that feels nurturing, not traumatizing, ill-timed, or emotionally immature. You deserve it.
The secret to getting unstuck is radically accepting where you’re at now, with grace. Let go of expecting perfection out of yourself. You’re not always going to be your most productive, make perfect decisions, or get it right. A little self-compassion will take you a long way.
I hope you get to experience that "I made you a playlist," "I know you've been stressed, so I picked up some slack," "I love your soul, your looks are just a bonus" soft kind of love. Love that feels nurturing, not traumatizing, ill-timed, or emotionally immature. You deserve it.
Focus on yourself.
Focus on loving yourself.

You are allowed to walk away.
You are allowed to be proud of yourself.
You are allowed to cry it out.
You are allowed to speak up.
You are allowed to change.
Sending love to anyone reckoning with their own toxic habits and trying their best to unlearn them. You are seen, you are brave, and with a little bit of discipline, you are going to make it.
Dear Self,
You'll find peace when you lean into uncertainty as a form of empowerment. Remember, life's not just about tolerating unpredictability, but mastering the art of thriving within it. Uncertainty is your stage, not your cage. You got this.
