Where I Am Celebrated🫶

I am packing up my spirit,

Leaving the spaces where I am only tolerated,

Where my shine was dimmed by lukewarm hearts,

And my value was never quite stated.

I am leaving behind the begging,

The asking for space to just breathe,

And I am walking, unashamed,

Toward the place I am meant to be.

I am going where the door is open wide,

Where the welcome is warm and bright,

Where I am seen for the magic I hold,

And my presence brings delight.

I am going where friendship flows two ways,

And my worth is naturally known,

Where I am loved for simply being me,

And I am finally, truly, home.

I will be celebrated, not just tolerated,

Where my energy is uplifted and free,

Where they mirror the best of my heart back,

And honor the highest part of me.

And when I arrive in those sacred spaces,

I will no longer shrink to fit the room.

I will stand fully in my light,

Like a soul that has finally found its bloom.

No more dimming my spirit for comfort,

No more silence to keep the peace—

Only truth, only growth, only love

In the places my heart can breathe.

... Read moreIn my personal experience, the challenge of moving away from places where I felt merely tolerated to spaces where I am genuinely celebrated has been transformative. It starts with recognizing the signs—like when your energy feels drained or when your contributions go unnoticed despite your best efforts. Choosing yourself means valuing your own worth, even when others may not immediately see it. One important realization is that authentic relationships are reciprocal; true friendship flows both ways, with mutual respect and appreciation. When I embraced this mindset, I noticed my spirit no longer dimmed or silenced just to keep the peace. Instead, I thrived in environments where my presence was uplifting and my heart could freely express truth, growth, and love. The hashtags like #KnowYourWorth, #ChooseYourself, and #HealingJourney resonate deeply with me as reminders that healing and personal growth are ongoing. They inspire me to keep walking toward spaces that honor the highest parts of my being. Finding such sacred spaces and communities where the door is wide open can feel like finally coming home—a space where your energy is not only accepted but uplifted. Through this process, I’ve learned to fully stand in my light, embracing my uniqueness without shrinking to fit any room. This journey takes patience and courage, but the reward is invaluable: a life where you are celebrated, not just tolerated. To anyone reading, I encourage you to seek out—and create—spaces where your soul can truly bloom and your heart can breathe.

It can be hard to celebrate holidays in college when you’re unable to spend it with families, so my friend and I tried to make Easter extra special this year by celebrating it together! Holidays are so special to me and my family, so it is sad not being able to see them. I am so lucky to have such
