Beautify My Core

📓 This Is Bigger Than Me 📓

I took this picture years ago, before life had really had a chance to hurt me. Before I knew what it felt like to carry certain things, to question myself, or to let other people’s choices and opinions take up so much space in my life. I remember this moment so clearly. Free falling, smiling ear to ear, completely terrified and completely free at the same time. But the best part was that I was doing something I wanted to do. No one asked me to. No one was going to benefit from it but me. It was on my bucket list, and I decided I was going to check it off. I was living for me.

There is something about that woman that I keep thinking about lately. She wasn’t waiting for permission to experience her own life. She wanted something, so she went after it. She was willing to be scared. She was willing to jump. She trusted herself enough to find out what was waiting on the other side of fear. And somewhere along the way, life got heavier. I learned things I wish I hadn’t had to learn. I let people hurt me. I let people make me question who I was. I gave people access to parts of me they had not earned, and somewhere in all of that, I stopped living quite so freely.

I don’t want to do that anymore. I want that feeling back. Not because I want to escape the life I have now, but because I want to feel fully present in it again. I want to chase experiences that make me smile like this. I want to finish the bucket list. I want to say yes to the things that scare me and no to the things that drain me. I want to protect my peace without feeling guilty about it. I want to be selective about who gets access to me. And I never want someone else’s version of me to become louder than my own.

I know what it feels like to be completely free, even if it was only for a few minutes in the sky. I remember that woman. And I think it’s time I become her again. Not the woman I was before life happened. The woman who learned from it, survived it, and finally decided she gets to live for herself again. That’s the kind of freedom I’m chasing now. And nothing less.

📓This Is Bigger Than Me 📓

I’ve spent too much time caring, overthinking, fixing, explaining, and trying to make everything make sense. I used to think if something mattered to me, I had to keep reaching for it until it made sense, until it stayed, until I felt understood. I don’t feel that way anymore. There are things I could probably still fight for, conversations I could still have, people I could still try to hold onto. I just don’t want to. 💯 🤷🏻‍♀️ And that’s the part of this version of me that feels almost foreign. I still feel everything. I just don’t feel the need to do something about everything I feel. Maybe nonchalant me is the worst me, but she’s the worst in the best way. 🥰🔥 She knows when to leave something untouched. She knows that sometimes the most honest thing you can do is stop reaching.

So listen closely, whatever stays, stays. Whatever goes, goes. I’m not chasing, convincing, or begging anything to remain. I’ll release it with love. I don’t need to bring anything to the table anymore. I am the table. 💋

“I can’t be everything to everyone else and not be that for myself”……

📓 This Is Bigger Than Me 📓

I think I spent a lot of time thinking about how I was coming across. Whether I was too much, too quiet, too honest, too distant, whether someone was going to take something the wrong way. I’m tired of having that conversation in my head. I don’t want to keep editing myself depending on who I’m around or trying to figure out what version of me is going to make everyone else comfortable.

I still care about people. I still care when I’ve hurt someone or handled something badly. I just don’t want every interaction to turn into a question of whether I was enough for someone, whether they understood me, or whether I should have been different. Sometimes I’m just going to be myself and let people have whatever feelings they have about that. I really love the woman I’m becoming. Not because everyone understands her or agrees with her, but because she finally feels like me. And I’m okay with that, regardless of what anyone else thinks. 🥰💯

📓 This is Bigger Than Me 📓

The older I get, the more I realize something. I AM the energy. No matter the season, I bring the light, the joy, the confidence, and that “we’re gonna be alright” feeling. I could be figuring things out behind the scenes while crying, and still walk into the room and make it feel good. 💋

Now I really see it. It wasn’t the circumstances making things look good. It was ME. I brought the beauty. I brought the magic. I never needed everything to be perfect to create something beautiful. That’s just who I am. 🥰

Different seasons. Different chapters. Different things to figure out. But always the same girl showing up as herself. And this year, I’m finally giving myself credit for that. 😌💅

And keepin’ it 💯, you see the smile, the energy, the glow… but you don’t know what was happening behind it unless I tell you. I’ve always had a way of turning hard seasons into wins. Not because every season was easy, but because that’s just who I am. 💋
