Here I am again—wandering through my own thoughts, quietly tending to the ache that friendship once left behind.
Lately, I’ve been stepping back from the noise, choosing solitude over circles that once felt sacred. A recent betrayal cracked something tender in me, and in that silence, I began to see a pattern: the friendships I gave my deepest loyalty to… were the ones that left me most wounded.
I offered rawness. I showed up fully. I loved without measure.
And still, I was dismissed—unnoticed, as if my presence held no weight. That truth stung. It made me question the worth of my devotion, the value of my voice.
But I prayed.
I whispered my way back to myself.
I became my own cheerleader, my own safe place.
No longer chasing validation, I now choose wholeness without permission.
I am learning to thrive within the quiet.
To honor the closed doors that protect my peace.
To remember that I am not lacking—I am layered.
I am not broken—I am blooming.
I am enough.
Not because others say so,
but because I say so.
