Just over a year ago, I was in one of the darkest places I’ve ever been. Or at least so I thought in that moment.
I just knew it was time for me to move on from what I was so comfortable with for so long.
❌I knew that I couldn’t force someone to love me the way I wanted.
❌I knew I couldn’t depend on someone to make me happy.
❌I knew that love doesn’t mean to put your significant other down.
❌I knew that lies, secrecy, and feeling distanced were all red flags.
And yet, I decided to 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥 that everything was okay.
My life was okay.
I had an okay job.
I lived in an okay town.
I had an okay relationship.
And yet, deep down, I knew it wasn’t anything that I wanted.
I knew I was becoming comfortable
I knew I was settling
I knew what I was doing....
And yet again, I chose to ignore it all.
Ignore my pain,
Ignore my suffering,
Ignore what’s right vs wrong.
Because if I admitted to any of this, it would mean that something needed to change.
✨My self worth
✨My standards
✨My boundaries
✨My limits
✨My environment.
This feeling that I felt pushed me into where I am today.
I fought for so long for what I thought was right.
But here’s the thing, just because you “think” it’s right, doesn’t make it “feel” right.
My gut has taught me so much.
I’m here to remind you that IT IS right.
Trust that feeling when something 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 off, because it 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬.
It’s scarier to live a life you’re settling in rather than not knowing what your next step is going to be.
So don’t ever settle, listen and TRUST yourself.
She will always guide you to the right place ✌🏼💖
