Life is wild. One day you feel like you’re struggling, and then the next day you feel like you’re thriving. It can sometimes feel like you’re out of control until you decide to lean into what it is you want the most. To make a decision means to stand in your power and a chance to rise into something you’ve never experienced before. The word decision comes from Latin, and it literally means “to cut off”. By making a decision, we effectively cut out all other possibilities. We make them inaccessible. Remove them from the equation. And maybe that is the scariest part for you. The idea that you’re cutting off or removing something you’ve been so used to for so long. For many of us that thing we’re used to is being in our own suffering. We’re used to suffering in unfulfilling relationships. We’re used to suffering in people pleasing cycles. We’re used to not allowing unbridled joy in our lives in fear of being too much. We’re used to repressing our sexuality in fear of judgement of our purest form of self-expression. 
We’re used to chaos when all the we deeply want is peace and radical self-acceptance. #permissiongranted to decide, to choose, and to step into a new reality. You get to choose and there is so much power in that. Each day we’re given a chance to make the most of it. Remember that your journey in life is only controlled by you. What works for others may not work for you and that’s more than okay. Do what’s right for you and celebrate the small moments of your healing, your progress, and your growth no matter how tiny it may seem. I love you. #thebougiebruja
