// 𝟓𝐲𝐫𝐬: How much have you grown? //
>>>𝐈𝐆 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤
Since running away from home at age 16,
I learnt what it meant to be hungry & broke.
I also understood what it meant to be
disrespected & disregarded as a woman.
It set me on a fiery mission to prove that 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧’𝐬
𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧.
I became so obsessed with being an #AlphaWoman,
& trying to please everyone (low self-esteem)
that I compromised my physical (18-21𝘩𝘳 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴)
& #mentalhealth to prove the point.
I fell in love blindly, trusted a bit too easily &
made so many unwise decisions that drove me
to debt & heartache until I eventually learnt that
𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞
𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦.
The last 5 years have taught me to
𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨, 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞, 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥 & 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞
𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 for all the wrong decisions.
It was a humbling process, but I eventually learnt
to 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜, to say 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙮, “𝙔𝙚𝙨, 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩” &
take a step back to give others space to grow.
I’ve learnt to better discern people, opportunities &
intentions. Most importantly, I’ve learnt to say “𝙉𝙤.”
Q4 last year, I made the decision to take a step back
to focus on my health & spend time with the people I love.
After all, we never really know
how much time we have left to live.
In 2020, my screen time went down to 3 hrs
& for the first time in 21 years,
I slept 9 hours for a few consecutive nights.
Under the weather this week, yet amidst the
chaos of this character-building season,
𝐈’𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭.
𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙉𝙆 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙎𝙊 𝙈𝙐𝘾𝙃 for choosing to #journey & grow with me.
Looking forward to our next chapter.
Love you #OnlineFamily.❤️
