You Don’t Need Certainty to Be Honest ✨
A lot of people wait for perfect clarity before they let themselves be honest. But self-trust often begins earlier than that. It starts in the moment you stop pretending you need more certainty than you actually do just to admit what you already feel. You may not have all the language yet.
