Does this sound familiar to you? All my life I’v

Does this sound familiar to you? All my life I’ve been so occupied with being the backbone for all of my loved ones that I never had time or room to grow one for myself.

That’s what happens when children are forced to quickly evolve into miniature adults without adequate time and nourishment to develop in their youth. I had to became an adult at age 7 and there hasn’t been a moment in my life that allowed me the luxury to stop playing that role.

And now, the very thought of standing up for myself and holding my ground, in the relationships that matter most to me, cripples me. The minute I voice my opinions when I’m hurt or unhappy, I’ll start to feel guilty. I’ll people please and apologize for having “high” standards and for asking someone for more than the bare minimum. I’ll stress over maintaining peace.

Somehow I’ve learned to believe that people will leave me if I hold them accountable for their actions. I’ve been conditioned to believe that I’d be loved less if I expressed my disappointment in another person.

Creating boundaries will piss off the people who benefit from the ways in which you overextend yourself, but I want you to know that there’s room to practice using your voice with people who truly love you.

I promise, you won’t be loved less.

You’ll be loved better when you love yourself enough to stand up for what you deserve.

“Belonging isn’t about sharing common interest

“Belonging isn’t about sharing common interests, it’s a feeling. A vibe.” - @lynnz737

To that person who endlessly has their arms wide open for me,

who makes it clear that they’ve built a safe space I can always come home to,

who makes me feel like I always belong with them,

who makes it easy for me to be completely me,

who is a hard shell for this soft shelled creature,

my love is for you.

You know who you are. 🙃

3 TIPS FOR RECENT GRADS:⁠ ⁠ ✨ EXHAUST ALL OP

3 TIPS FOR RECENT GRADS:⁠
⁠
✨ EXHAUST ALL OPTIONS⁠
✨There’s a quitter in every winner and every loser, respectively. The difference between the two is that winners will "quit" and halt to revisit alternative ways of approaching a situation. They exhaust all their options until they find and adapt to the one that best meets the needs of the situation. ⁠
⁠
🌈 LOOK FOR LESSONS⁠
🌈 In every situation, no matter how positive or negative, there’s a lesson. Some lessons are meant to reward you, as a gentle reminder to maintain your highest vibrations. Other lessons will rehabilitate you, as a necessary reminder to raise your lowest vibrations.⁠
⁠
💣 CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE⁠
💣 Over time, you’ll learn the difference between when you choose your challenges, and when your challenges choose you. The goal is to determine which you will dedicate your best energy to. (HINT: when the challenge chooses you, it’s karmic)⁠
