stop numbing the discomfort.

Bad financial decisions… Great memories. 🙂‍↔️

you don’t become confident by finding yourself… you become confident by unlearning who you had to be to survive.

Did they change, or did you just see what you wanted to see?

The moment you have to abandon yourself just to stay, leave fam.

quiet mornings, a clean space, early nights, a safe home and people who don’t drain my energy. 🙂‍↔️
