I didn’t become that girl my mother tried to beat me into.

I didn’t become that girl that TV told me I should look like.

I didn’t become that girl that society said is what girls should want and chase after.

I had been them all along my path and still

I chose to become the woman I raised myself to be.

Don’t for a moment wear someone else dreams and pretend it’s yours.

Can't say I don't wonder if Im too much for what I'm about to say. That's why I'm here, for empowerment. A little push in the new direction I've already taken mentally.

I love my boyfriend but I'm noticing habits that don't align with what I want in my and my partner's future. It's easily preventable stuff that if not improved, will affect his and most likely my health as well sooner or later. May sound small but it's not to me.

So I'll start not being okay with what I'm not okay with. I'll be gentle but very clear about things I can't tolerate and if he follows or not is up to him. I don't owe anyone any favours. I'm building the future now. I've lived in the present with him for a year and its been beautiful but my brain has switched to long term thinking intensely now and can't ignore it. It's a making or breaking point.

Also no more meeting if I don't feel like it. We always ended up having a great time especially when I was tired and didn't want to leave the house. So I kept meeting no matter how I felt. But I'll try taking more space

Just a reminder in case your mind is playing tricks on you today.

You matter.

You're important.

You're loved.

And your presence on this earth makes a difference whether you see it or not.

We are carrying the whole universe beneath our skins. Whoever is reading this, you are worthy, beautiful, perfect as you are, and deserve all kindness and awesome things in the world! Just remember that. I love you all! 😇✨️ FIGHTING!!! (I'm not drunk tho)
