For a long time, I believed that I was being patient, but in reality, I was simply waiting. I told myself that I was allowing life to unfold naturally and that I was trusting the process. However, if I am honest, my heart was not at peace. It was restless, expectant, and quietly anxious. There… Continue reading The Difference Between Patience and Waiting

Who I Could Have Been If I Was Loved Correctly
Sometimes I think about who I could have been if I had been loved correctly. If the love around me had been consistent. If it had been attentive. If it had known how to hold me without confusing me. I wonder what parts of me would have developed sooner. I wonder if I would have… Continue reading Who I Could Have Been If I Was Loved Correctly
The Fear of Being Alone
I believe what truly hinders people, myself included, is the fear of being alone. Not loneliness exactly, but the deeper fear that if we are by ourselves for too long, we might disappear. We might discover something about ourselves we are not ready to face. We might realize we have been performing connection rather than… Continue reading The Fear of Being Alone
Seeing Past the Grief
Grief is loud in the beginning. It does not enter quietly or politely. It rearranges your entire life without asking for permission, and it refuses to leave when you beg it to. When you lose your mother at a young age, grief does not feel like something you experience. It feels like something that raises… Continue reading Seeing Past the Grief
God Won’t Take Away and Not Replace With Better
There is a particular kind of heartbreak that comes when something is removed from your life without your permission. It might be a relationship you thought would last, an opportunity you worked hard for, a friendship you trusted, or even a version of yourself that felt secure and familiar. In those moments, it can feel… Continue reading God Won’t Take Away and Not Replace With Better
You Are the Creator of Your Own Reality
This isn’t about pretending life is easy or convincing yourself that everything happens for a reason, because some things happened without your consent and changed you in ways no positive thinking could ever undo. It’s about recognizing that even when you didn’t get the guidance, the protection, or the softness you deserved, you are still… Continue reading You Are the Creator of Your Own Reality
Let God Work
I used to think strength meant doing everything alone.Carrying it all. Figuring it out. Suffering quietly. Pushing harder when I was tired. Staying silent when I needed help. But lately I’ve realized something softer and far more powerful: God doesn’t just work in you.He works through the people around you. We spend so much time praying for answers, breakthroughs,… Continue reading Let God Work
They Teach Us That Blood Is Thicker Than Water (But They Never Finish The Sentence)
They teach us that blood is thicker than water. They say it like a rule. Like a warning. Like a leash. But they never tell you the full saying: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” Meaning the bonds you choose can be stronger than the ones you inherit.… Continue reading They Teach Us That Blood Is Thicker Than Water (But They Never Finish The Sentence)
Stop Trying to Convince Others of Your Worth
When you grow up without someone consistently affirming you, you learn early how to prove yourself. You learn how to be impressive. Helpful. Easy to love. You learn how to earn space instead of assuming you’re allowed to take it. I didn’t realize for a long time that I was doing this everywhere—at work, in… Continue reading Stop Trying to Convince Others of Your Worth
Someone, anyone? Giving off desperate vibes.
It’s wild how easy it is to slip into that energy without even realizing it. Wanting to be seen. Wanting to be chosen. Wanting someone, anyone to just pick up the pieces we’re tired of holding. And the whole time, we don’t notice that the desperation isn’t because we’re weak… it’s because we’re drained. Sometimes… Continue reading Someone, anyone? Giving off desperate vibes.
