💙 Yourself & others, harder! 💕

In a #world of so much unnecessary #hate , judgement, and division, we are only suffering more as a #society the more we Jab at each other. Our #humanity , is weakened when we target 🎯 the weak, different, and those we deem not at our level. We are all on a quest for love ❤️ yet, don’t know truly how to love ❤️ ourselves and others beyond our comfort zone. We will truly #evolve when love 💙 emanates freely from our souls and hatred is a thing of the past. As Rupaul says, if you can’t love ❤️ yourself, how the Hell you are going to love 💕 anybody else? Can I get an Amen ?🙏

it’s a lot easier to do than you think! if you’ve been feeling burnt out, angry, frustrated, or far away from yourself, it’s worth asking yourself if you’ve been doing any of these things 💛 ➡️ ignoring your feelings denying , intellectualizing, avoiding ➡️ pushing yourself to burnout focusi

FORGIVE YOURSELF 🩵
Honestly, I think forgiving yourself and letting go of things that you’ve done that has caused you any type of backlash to yourself as one of the hardest things to forgive. Because I know for me, my brain never stops. I am my biggest enemy, but I am learning trying to learn how to give myself the s

Why Loving Harder Won’t Change Someone 🔑ℹ️⬇️
The idea that you can change someone through increased affection is a common misconception. Love is powerful, but it doesn’t have the ability to fundamentally alter someone’s behavior or character. People change through their own realization and effort, not because someone else loves them more inte

A woman on a train looks out the window, with text 'SIGNS YOU HAVE HIGH FUNCTIONING ANXIETY' and 'SWIPE' indicating the start of a series. She appears thoughtful, reflecting the hidden nature of this anxiety.

👉 Are You Betraying Yourself?
Sometimes the hardest betrayal isn’t what others do to us…. it’s what we quietly do to ourselves. Saying yes when your spirit is tired. Staying silent to keep the peace. Overgiving until there’s nothing left. Healing didn’t start for me when I tried harder — it started when I got honest.
