My new, old life.

Trying to get better at not feeling guilty about putting myself first. It’s definitely a work in progress though. 😂

It has taken me a very, very long time to realise that there is some serious strength in vulnerability, and that it's okay to talk about how you're feeling shit or to speak up if something makes you uncomfortable. That's what makes you real, and only then can you finally accept and love yourself. 💪

It is not unkind to set boundaries. On the contrary, by being clear and honest about what you are comfortable with creates a space for others to do so, and builds a stronger connection with those around you.

By the way you are 100% not doomed to be your parents. I was the only child of a single mom, which is like, super extra exposure, and we have so, so little in common. We are not alike, so completely so that I'm constantly freshly surprised by it.

And even if you do share some less-than-great traits with your parents, you can recognize them and work on them. You do not have to make the same mistakes as your parents. You are capable of growth and doing better than your parents did.

Yup

That too!
