I wasn’t invisible. They just never looked closely

1/10 Edited to

... Read moreFor many of us, the feeling of being unseen or misunderstood can be deeply isolating. I remember times when despite being surrounded by people, it felt like no one truly knew what made me happy or what dreams I held close. This invisibility isn't about physical absence but about the lack of deep connection and understanding from those around us. Through my own journey of self-healing, I learned that waiting for others to recognize our worth often leaves us feeling alone. Choosing oneself is an act of courage and self-compassion. It means dedicating time to understand what makes you feel alive—whether it's a favorite food, a cherished place, or even a favorite movie. These personal details may seem small but are essential pieces of our identity that deserve attention and care. When we invest in ourselves like this, we start filling the void left by unmet expectations from others. Healing is not a linear path. I faced many moments of doubt and insecurity, wondering if I was truly seen. But embracing vulnerability helped me grow stronger. Being honest with yourself about your needs and desires is empowering—it transforms invisibility into visibility, loneliness into connection. If you're feeling invisible too, try starting with simple acts of self-care and reflection. Discover what nourishes your soul and give yourself the love you deserve. Remember, you are not lost; you are evolving into your most authentic self. By choosing yourself, you lay the foundation for deeper, more fulfilling relationships—with yourself and others.

went to catch the Dear Evan Hansen musical! 🎶 i enjoyed the songs, especially “for forever” & “if I could tell her” and the cast did a good job but i think i still enjoyed the movie (2021) more :”) compared to wicked, this production was a lil disappointing & not a lot of wow factor :(

Why breastfeeding wasn’t for me - no regrets
Breastmilk has typically been deemed a “free” resource compared to formula milk. But the true cost tells a very different story and it is truly eye opening. 1. Value of Time. Breastfeeding is a full-time commitment, especially in the early months when baby feeds every few hours around the clock
