when i gave myself permission to take up space with my presence & move through the world as though i have a right to be here, a deep well of love awakened within me because i stopped hiding those pieces of me that were a little too much for some & not quite enough for others.
keeping up appearances is fucking exhausting & i want nothing to do with it.
the truth is, you don’t need to make yourself small or cram your magic into a tiny box of unexpressed emotion for the sake of someone else’s comfort. neglecting your own needs to make someone else happy is a form of self betrayal. it disrupts your peace of mind & damages your relationship with spirit.
get real with yourself. be honest about who you are & what you want & then bravely walk through this world as your authentic self. no more pretending you’re happy when you’re sad. no more fake smiles or too tight traditions that serve absolutely nobody. release your stories about how you need to prove your worth & become somebody.
become you. take up space with your presence & show up to each moment as yourself without fear or apology. basic liberty is your birthright & you were born to fly.
i love you.
xo,
