No matter how much love, time, or patience you give someone—if they keep leaving you empty, you’re allowed to walk away full of self-worth. I poured 10 years of love into someone who never truly showed up for me. But I showed up for me. I spoke my truth. He met it with silence. So I gave myself

how to become a 5am girlie :)
I used to be someone who would sleep in SOO late. In college I was sleeping until 11am sometimes... Even when I graduated and needed to work, I would sleep in until 8:59am and hop onto my computer at 9am. Becoming someone who wakes up early took work, but it's so worth it!! I currently wakeup a
