You’re always going-doing-thinking-feeling for others. We are women, it’s how we are designed. But you have to admit – aren’t you tired?
Aren’t you fu*king exhausted??
I know I’m not the only one whose head is constantly swirling with my worries, fears, doubts and “getting left-behind-ness.”
The mental load of being a partner/a mother/a friend is often enough to make you retreat into the crevices of your beautiful personality.
You just keep playing small, resigned to the fact that this is “just the way things are.”
But do you remember who you were? Who you used to be?
If you don’t, trust me – your soul remembers. And she’s freaking SCREAMING from the deepest parts of you to get your attention.
She wants you to step into your authenticity. Even though it’s unbelievably scary sometimes (okay, most times…) she is desperate for you to acknowledge her.
It’s easy for me to write this as I lay on my bed in my pajamas. I sound bold and brave and true. When in reality I, too, am fighting an internal battle that has felt heavier than ever lately. Vacillating between fighting back tears and an apathy so strong that it actually concerns me.
Through all of it, I know what the solution is. I know I need to stop bullshitting and truly listen to my own heart and soul. I know that she will tell me who I am and what I need to do in this life to live as the loudest, proudest, most delicious version of myself.
Because doing anything less is a serious fu*king disfavor. A disfavor to not only you but to the rest of the world. You are SO INSANELY IMPORTANT and beautiful and this world has been doing it’s best to make you forget it.
So remember. Take it back. Look inside and make the hard but brave choices. Don’t be afraid to look at yourself in the mirror, into those beautiful eyes, and reclaim yourself.
No more hiding. Start now. Today. 💜
I love you.
