for the girls who think they don't have a voice 😶
the no. one reason i procrastinated on making the content ‘I’ wanted to see was..
thinking i didn’t have anything valuable to say
i have always felt like the odd one, constantly misunderstood and ashamed of being both of those, so much so, i’d shut down and those negative thoughts would get the best of me every single time.
i yearned to be in spaces that felt real, where people didn’t shy away from owning their insecurities and being vocal about it.. for showing the journey and not just speaking in past tense.
but i couldn’t do that because i wasn’t that, ya know, “get somebody else to do it” because starting a space like that is not my calling.. or so i thought.
one thing about a calling is, it keeps coming back no matter how many excuses you tell yourself or the fact that you’re not prepared — it keeps coming back.
i didn’t want to get on this app, telling you what you should do, how doing a certain thing can change your life, etc. no, i wanted to use MY journey to help others even if it’s a little bit.
showcasing my struggles, my issues and insecurities because we all have them but most of us are afraid to ‘expose’ them (myself included).
so for the girls who feel they don’t have a voice — you do, we all do. it’s just up to us to actually use it, however it comes to us and for me, it’s creating content and i don’t regret that decision.
when you come across this account, i hope you feel seen, be encouraged and inspired..
because you matter here. 🫶🏽

In today's world, many women struggle with feelings of inadequacy and silence. The journey towards self-expression can be daunting, especially when influenced by societal norms that often discourage vulnerability. However, embracing your voice is not just crucial for personal growth but also for fostering a community where others feel safe to share their experiences. Creating a safe space to discuss topics like mental wellness and personal struggles can significantly impact not just ourselves, but also those around us. By being authentic and exposing our vulnerabilities, we encourage others to do the same, cultivating an environment of openness and understanding. This article emphasizes the importance of showing the journey, revealing that behind every struggle lies a story worth sharing. Moreover, engaging in conversations about mental health is increasingly vital in today's fast-paced society. We all have moments of doubt and insecurity, but acknowledging these feelings can lead to growth and connection. Sharing experiences not only validates our own struggles but also resonates with others who may feel similarly. Encouragement, support, and inspiration are crucial elements of personal development and collective healing. Therefore, this article serves as a reminder that, despite the pressures to conform, each person's voice and story matter significantly in a world that often tries to silence them. By encouraging each other to speak up, we create a ripple effect of change that fosters strength and perseverance within ourselves and our communities.
