Whatever happens in life.. those who truly know you, those who made time to get in touch with your very soul and core — will understand every intention, no questions asked. And that, that means more than any word spoken, any action motioned, and is all the validation needed in this lifetime.

I don’t know how.. but the universe is gracing me with this next chapter in my life. I have a cozy home. I have the funds to build my own custom palace.

This is not a new beginning, but rather an extension of my existence that was pending deep inside of me all this time.

I have no idea where it’s going to lead me next. But for once in my life, I feel at peace. I feel like I’m honoring my space and holding it sacred.

I finally feel like I’m living..

self-discovery is an unclear journey with many twists and turns. sometimes unsettling, not knowing what is next. it’s not always kind, at most it can be heartbreaking. regardless — embrace it with open arms, be patient, find the courage and strength to keep on going because something great is meant to happen. #35

Not seen — the belly pouch hidden by the dark compression leggings. In a world where we are so captivated by what social media portrays we often forget that what is seen in photos is not really the reality. Even if it were, society always praises that there is more work that needs to be done. That the version of you now is never enough. Well, let this be a reminder that you are always enough. The moment you allow yourself to wake up and start anew you’ve done plenty. Do not let societal pressures validate who you are. Feel rich in fulfillment of the person you’re becoming for yourself. Feel beautiful for who you genuinely are. You are greatness in all that you are and all that you do.

before i forget. remember that today was such a dream. and you have the ability to make this reality day in and day out. nature walks in the morning, great conversations by the afternoon, and a little boarding in the evening. i’m exhausted but haven’t felt this much fulfillment in a long time. small gains to create the bigger picture. you are right where you need to be.

Celebrating the fact that I got up and did something today. Life has not been easy but it’s the little victories that create the bigger picture. Very grateful for days like these.

If I told you to dance to the rhythm of my heart, could you follow it?

To sit in the stillness of our own company is to know and trust ourselves completely. It allows us to lay in the lap of honesty and discover new loves that are hidden in the busyness of the world.

Never over look the quiet ones. They are the ones who draw the most attention because they are able to speak volumes with silence and it's their actions that create the biggest impact on the things and people around them.

If no one has told you today.. You are enough.

Despite what society tells you, despite the expectations people have for you, despite where you think you should be in life as opposed to just being.

You do not need to conform to standards of the norm. Defy the odds, make peace with your differences. Embrace your flaws. Celebrate your losses. Because at the end of the day those are the things that make you utterly unique in this world.

Fall in love with change despite the discomfort and the struggles because that is what leads to beautiful beginnings.

Scream your passions into the universe. Be vulnerable. Do not be afraid to break patterns. Your thoughts are valid.

Romanticize your world. Speak into existence what you want, who you want. Do not restrict the fantasies and dreams you have because there is power in attraction, manifestations and bringing it into fruition if you relentlessly believe in it.

Allow yourself to feel the heartache immensely. Cry over your losses. Receive and honor your traumas. Be kind, be patient, be caring to these parts of you. There is no time limit to healing.

Your imperfections are divine. You are captivating in your own way. And, most importantly, you are never alone in this journey. There are people out there who will truly see you, and I mean truly see you, not as an afterthought or an idea or potential. They will appreciate the mosaic of complexities that make you who you are. They will want to read every chapter of your history and they will find it the most fascinating story ever written.

Because you are enough.
