…In the old relationship you felt so unseen and alone in, in the old life you felt small and repressed and unfulfilled in while telling yourself to be happy with good enough because that’s more than most people get.

🥂 to the girl who decided she could want what she wanted without justification or validation, while being looked at like she was crazy (and sometimes wondered if she was), who felt cringe and insecure and afraid but gave it all she had anyway because she was more invested in living life on her terms than she was in getting approval from other humans (who were largely unhappy in their own lives and certainly not embodying the standards she wanted to hold for herself), who was willing to stop blaming her childhood or *insert here* and started getting really honest about who she was being and how she was contributing to what she didn’t want… so she could change and choose again and rinse and repeat until…

Her worst days now feel better than her best days then.

Until… she became a woman who gets what she wants. Because she’s willing to show up for it and work for it and grow into it, whatever it takes.

🥂
