don’t you love it when you’re casually reading a random poem and suddenly come across a line that burrows into your bones and becomes the definition of your heart for the next 17 years..

once someone has a negative preconceived notion about you it doesn’t matter how genuine and kind you are towards them they will still find something bad to say about you. everything that you say or do will be taken out of context. most of the time it never has anything to do with you that is just how they choose to feel about you. release the need to have to prove yourself. you know who you are so just let them be and live your life. you don’t want to be stagnant. in this same place next year. introduce you to you. help yourself to see yourself the way that you see others. do whatever you need to do in your life that guides you closer to you. and your destiny. heal your heart so your triggers become your testimonies. add or remove whoever or whatever you need to help you grow spiritually. stop delaying your healing process by opening doors to toxic people. everyone is worth forgiving but not everyone is worth reconciling with. don’t hinder your progress to make others comfortable. you owe it to yourself to heal. make this season personal and continue on with evolving.

come with a clean heart. be done of letting your past define your future. dont overthink. dont overextend youself. dont feed into people and feelings that are not good for you. this year you move with intention. you move with love. no longer allowing people you have to question acess to you. this year you live in peace and will not allow negativity to disturb you. this is your year of stability, good health, wealth, clarity, + prosperity.

so much peace in knowing you will not miss out on what’s not meant for you.

you keep on wondering why you're always in the same cycle without even realizing the bottom line: you always get the same treatment because you allow them to treat you that way. you know your worth and you have a standard, but you always fail to apply it to protect yourself because, when you're with the people you love, you seem blind to the signs, and you keep ignoring the scratches that they do to your heart.

i want you to know that the first thing you need to protect before anyone else is yourself. the feeling of guilt after making boundaries and after cutting ties is only present in the beginning, as you are not used to, and sometimes you're going to be comfortable by doing something uncomfortable. you are the only one who can end that cycle! 🩰🌷

“is it sabotage? to love the flaws of others, but to always find yours hideous? am i a terrible person if i can't even fully accept my own scars the same way i do for everyone?”

“i think you're a good person—you just never learned how to be good to yourself. this happens when you've never had anyone telling you that you are enough. you would want to prove your worth by giving what was never provided to you. after a terrible experience, there sprouts this intense urge to dedicate your entire life attempting to save everyone else from such thing. you would desire to become the person that you needed the most for other people; you wouldn't mind setting yourself on fire, because as far as you could remember, you've always endured the hell within you—you've been used to it, and as long as it keeps them warm, you wouldn't complain. it's easier to throw yourself out in the war for everyone else than to admit that the wounds are hurting you too much. and by loving them harder, you could forget about the hatred you've been carrying before you even knew what it meant to become someone good.

i've read somewhere that self-love cannot be built in isolation; somebody has to teach it to you. and this is what happens to a grown-up who had always felt lonely as a child: you could teach everyone how to love themselves, but you could never do it for yourself.”

i'm such an incredibly, stupidly sensitive person that everything that happens to me, i experience it really intensely. i feel everything very deeply. and when you feel things deeply and you think about things a lot and you think about how you feel, you learn a lot about yourself. and when you know yourself, you know life.

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”

Francis Scott Fitzgerald

A reminder to stop keeping items for special occasions and to start infusing those quality pieces into your every day routines; whether clothes, cutlery, perfumes, jewelry or what have you use such items regularly — every day you’re alive is a special occasion. Of course, don’t wear your ballgowns to lunch with friends but use the things you have and take them off a pedestal — abundance mindset is knowing that you deserve all that you have and more.
