Needed this night thank u girls!! Been going through a lot but these girls always manage to keep a smile on my face!!! Love u guys!!! Break ups r hard but u shouldn’t shut down like I was… life goes on I guess. @Amanda @Bobbi Lee @Trisha Ann 🖤 #bestfriends #girlsday #funtimes #happytimes #fyp

5/3 Edited to

Breakups can be incredibly tough, and from personal experience, I know how isolating it can feel when you're trying to recover. What truly helped me was surrounding myself with supportive friends who reminded me that life goes on and happiness is still achievable. Spending quality time with my best friends brought laughter and joy back into my days, easing the pain little by little. I found that having a girls' day out or just casual hangouts made a huge difference in my healing process. It gave me a chance to express my feelings openly and receive heartfelt encouragement. These moments not only lifted my spirits but also strengthened my bond with those who mattered most. If you're going through something similar, I highly recommend reaching out to your close friends or support system instead of shutting down emotionally. Whether it's sharing a meal, taking a walk, or just chatting over coffee, these small acts of connection can provide a much-needed smile on days when things feel overwhelming. Remember, breakups may be hard, but with good friends by your side, brighter days are ahead.

low cortisol night routine

how you fall asleep determines how you wake up 💤☀️ it took me years to realize I was neurodivergent and needed to prioritize my sleep for both my physical & mental health. I now take my night routine very seriously because I see how much of an impact it makes on how I feel the following day.
