The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself. ••• I’m sad because I’ve worked so hard to love myself as freely as I love others, and now that I finally feel like I achieved that, I’m scared to get back into the habit of people pleasing. I’m upsetting people I love, by respecting my own time and plans. Has anybody experienced something similar? Your girl is struggling. It feels wrong to let myself down, but it also feels wrong to make someone I love so upset by not being able to always drop everything I have going for them. 2024 has been a season of so much figuring out what’s healthy in my life and what I’ve been allowing for too long. And while it’s been so heavy and filled with ups and downs, I feel I’m getting to where I’m meant to be. Happy, healthy, and free. Photos by: @greeneye_photo
