Follow me for more reflections on healing, strength, and living a soul-aligned life. 🌸 I’m 100% the “we never had to worry about you” type of daughter. The one who always figured it out, stayed strong, kept going no matter what. Life, my childhood, and the challenges I’ve walked through shaped me into someone deeply self-sufficient. I learned how to hold myself through the hard moments, how to rise when things felt uncertain, how to keep moving forward with quiet strength. And even when I struggle, I always find a way to make it work. There’s a deep beauty in that kind of independence. In the knowing that no matter what happens, I can count on me. But what I’ve come to understand and truly appreciate is that strength doesn’t mean doing it alone. It’s okay to lean into love. To be held. To let yourself depend on the people who have earned that space in your life. I’m proud of the woman I’ve become. Resilient, grounded, and capable, but also soft, open, and willing to receive support. Both can exist. And both are powerful.
