🤍 My Story: Over the last few years I have been experiencing a mental and spiritual growth spurt. I've had to let go of people who I thought would be in my life forever. Each one, it was pretty much me breaking it off.
🤍 How I Felt: I felt that I wasn't getting the same effort I was putting in. I'm not a sometimey ass friend. (person, hell yeah!) I'm not the friend who you have to keep shit from, I want to celebrate you, your accomplishments, everything. Second, you only have one time to allow someone else to come between us, and I'm out. As bad as I want to go into detail, I think I'll save it for a story time. Maybe.
🤍My Take Away: ALWAYS CHOOSE YOU!!!! People are not equipped with a manual on how to treat you. That's for you to lay out. The very first moment you feel that you are not being handled properly, get the fuck on!!! When I say I have never felt more free and in control in all my 44 years. I am making the decisions that resonate strongest with me, at any cost. I'm not intentionally hurting ppl, but if I do, that's OK too. I've held on to things that don't serve me long enough!!!
... Read moreVulnerability is often seen as a weakness, but it's actually a powerful tool for personal growth. Embracing vulnerability allows us to connect authentically with others and ourselves. Many people struggle with the fear of rejection or judgment when they open up about their feelings or experiences. However, sharing our stories can lead to deeper connections and a sense of community. In today's fast-paced world, it's crucial to remember that self-love is not selfish; it's a necessary part of thriving in life.
Many find strength in celebrating their accomplishments and acknowledging their feelings. Understand that you are worthy of relationships that reciprocate your efforts. Just as you choose friends who uplift you, make the choice to distance yourself from those who drain your energy or bring negativity into your life. It’s all about creating boundaries and knowing your worth.
By focusing on self-empowerment and being unfiltered in your journey, you can cultivate a life filled with joy and freedom. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Seek support and celebrate every step of progress, no matter how small. The road to vulnerability may seem daunting, but the rewards are countless, including personal growth and deeper connections with those who share your values.
