Integrity is choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.

“A woman enjoying the pleasure of her own company at the bar exudes a certain sophistication: independence and enjoyment intermingles with a whiff of reserve. She’s like the woman rewarding herself with a slice of cake or sneaking off to the cinema on her own, untroubled by the judgement of others and clear about her priorities. It’s a long way from the boisterous night out on the lash with the girls, more a moment of self-indulgent pleasure.”

I’m so tired of being called toxic for finally standing my ground and stopping people from walking all over me. I’m starting to believe them.
