The ability to think for yourself is a necessary skill.
Don’t just move with the crowd, agree when they agree, disagree when they do.
Even if you can’t voice it out,be true to yourself. 💭

Starting Over is One of the Hardest Things I’ve Ever Done.

I don’t say that lightly. It’s not just about losing your footing…
It’s the silent pain of watching everything you worked so hard for crumble.
And having no choice but to start again.

I’ve worn that shoe. I’ve walked that road.

First time? I repeated SS1 because I failed Maths.
It stung, but I was a teenager. Life moved on.

But the one that shook me to my core?

Was finishing nursing…AFTER 10 WHOLE YEARS.
And still not landing a job even after so many attempts. I faced Rejection like no man’s business.

Or was it shortly after giving birth to my first child and our only car was stolen, and I ended up having a bike accident with my daughter at 3months old .

I felt like God had forgotten me. I cried deep, ugly, snotty tears.
I felt like a failure. But even in that brokenness, something in me refused to give up.

I picked up the shattered pieces of my dreams,
held them with shaky hands, and began again.

From zero.
With nothing but grace, grit, and stubborn hope.

And guess what? That painful season taught me more than any success ever did.

So if you’re in that place right now starting from scratch. Tired. Confused. Overwhelmed.
I see you. I’ve been you.

And I’m telling you today It won’t always be this hard.
You’ll rise maybe not immediately,but definitely.

Keep going. Keep believing.

Even broken crayons still colour.
