you have to get to a point in your life where you stop apologizing for putting yourself first. your needs are important. your wants are important. never let anyone shame you into believing that the things you do for yourself are in vain, because it isn't. every time you pour into yourself, you're healing the parts of you that felt like all of the effort you've given was too much or not enough. i’m here to tell you that you've always been enough. putting yourself first is nothing to be ashamed of, okay? you can let go of the guilt that comes with choosing yourself. you're more free than you realize.

some days you just need to be reminded that things are working in your favor. when you’re tired, i hope you keep going. when you’re struggling, i hope you trust that something bigger than yourself will keep carrying you. when you’re anxious, i hope you hold onto the peace that you’re deserving of. when you’re disappointed, i hope you trust that what is meant for you will not pass you by.
