You know, one of the toughest things is standing by our own choices.
Just being okay with who we are—without trying to meet every expectation thrown our way.
It’s funny how even a small comment or glance can startle us into doubt.
Like, am I doing this right? Should I be different?
But here’s the thing: it’s okay to pause, to breathe, and to let go of that weight.
You don’t have to carry what was never yours.
You get to choose peace. You get to be you. And that’s absolutely okay.
