Used to say “I don’t ask for much.”
Thought it made me easy to love.
But really, I was just shrinking myself to stay safe.
Now I ask for more—clarity, peace, respect, me.
And I won’t apologize for it.
What are you learning to ask for?

The love you lose may be your own.
If love is costing you you, it’s too expensive.
You don’t have to earn love by shrinking.
You’re allowed to choose peace.
You are not broken—you were surviving.

I left the job that was breaking me. No plan. Just fear, bills, & a whisper that said:
“Choose yourself.”
So I made the journal I needed—in the middle of my unraveling.

Real healing. No fluff.

The you that laughs too loud. The you that sings off-key in the car. The you that overthinks at 2AM. The you that dreams big and feels deeply.
It’s scary, but you are worth choosing—every single day. The rest will fall into place.

Letting go of harmful people is one step. Letting go of the version of yourself that tolerated it? That’s the real healing. 💭 Who else is in their ‘reclaiming my power’ era? #HealingIsMessy #GrowthJourney #BoundariesMatter #ReclaimYourPower #EmotionalWellness #SelfLoveEra #chooseyou
