Month of Memories: July 2024

Dear July,

You’ve always been a rougher month but to say the least it’s been one of revelations and hard truths.

Getting the push to make change and strive for things that are better for me.

Learning to let go of people pleasing tendencies, poor boundaries, having more self control, and realizing what I want rather than following the expectations of others.

I’m not even 21 but I feel like the growth period of my 20’s is already creeping up on me. Whatever may come as long as I believe in myself and trust in YHWH things will work out in my favor.

... Read moreJuly often serves as a turning point, a month where personal growth becomes imperative. This period can bring about intense emotions and challenges, prompting individuals to reassess their lives. Notably, as highlighted in recent discussions, setting boundaries is crucial for mental well-being and personal development. According to experts like Nedra Glover Tawwab, establishing solid boundaries can help reclaim your peace, paving the way for a life that resonates positively with your nervous system. Moreover, let’s not forget the power of self-reflection during this time. Engaging in self-improvement, particularly by letting go of people-pleasing behaviors, allows for more genuine connections and a healthier mindset. Many young individuals, even before hitting 21, find themselves grappling with societal expectations and personal desires. This friction can foster remarkable growth and resilience. As you navigate through July, consider embracing vulnerability as suggested by community reflections. Sharing experiences and struggles can foster deeper connections within your support circles. It’s all about creating a balanced life where self-discovery and compassion for oneself blend harmoniously, leading to true transformation.

my favorite book from each month of 2024
What a year it’s been! All of these books deeply affected me. They made me feel seen and captured feelings I’ve never been able to put into words. The characters are vivid and memorable, and the writing is exquisite. Some of these are funny, some are poignant, but all of them are written honestly.
