I’ve been listening to @majomolfino audiobook 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘔𝘺𝘵𝘩 lately and wheeeeeew it’s been hitting me to the core😮⁣⁣

⁣⁣

So many of us women and femmes are conditioned to be “good.” What that often means is that we push aside what we need to make others happy. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘨𝘦:⁣⁣

👆🏾“𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴.”⁣⁣

👆🏾“𝘋𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦.”⁣⁣

👆🏾“𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥.”⁣⁣

⁣⁣

The mainstream wants us to be this way. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Of course we can be generous and caring yet it does not have to come at our own expense. ⁣⁣

There is 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 even if it ruffles some feathers. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

At this point in my life I’d rather direct my energy into what truly fills me up than be likable and filled with self loathing. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Choose YOURSELF! ⁣⁣

⁣⁣

🌺Choose yourself — trust your intuition. ⁣⁣

🌺Choose yourself — speak your truth. ⁣⁣

🌺Choose yourself — walk away from unhealthy relationships. ⁣⁣

🌺Choose yourself — break your own programming. ⁣⁣

🌺Choose yourself — find community with people who support growth. ⁣⁣

🌺Choose yourself — invest in your evolution over and over again. ⁣⁣

🌺Choose yourself and drink water out of wine glasses 🥂⁣

🌺Choose yourself even when (ESPECIALLY WHEN) others don’t understand. ⁣⁣
