You are not defined by what has happened to you, but you do get to choose who you became because of it

Despite having to go through tough times, that does not mean that you are unworthy of love - especially not your own. You don’t have to let the things that brought you down keep you down, and it certainly doesn’t have to become your identity.

My latest love letter is dedicated to the trauma I carried and how I started to become who I am without letting it weigh me down. Sometimes you have to love the parts you feel are the worst to understand that those parts are not all of you - just some of your story

2016 era is apparently back so we’re all about bringing our millennial bs back too! Peace signs and duck lips till the day I die, baby! Miz and I are millennials through and through, and whether we’re cringe or not we’re going to lean into it. Because authenticity is better than any alternative!

We talk through what millennial means to us, what we loved about our 2016 era - and maybe a few years before and after too because it was just that good

Not a morning person? Neither was I, even though I definitely know I function better in the morning than late at night. But all that changed when a friend told me how she loved her mornings because they were just for her

So I started seeing how I could find mornings enjoyable, and find more time for self love

This love letter is just a glimpse into how to make mornings become your time - starting the day with things that you love and only things that bring you joy. It’s not an easy transition - let me tell you! But it’s a worthwhile one if you’re looking to carve out more time to dedicate to loving yourself

Sincerely, a love letter to yourself 🤍

Ever needed a pick-me-up? Ever watched a movie and the main character(s) get a speech that turns everything around for them? Ever wanted that for yourself?

Drown out what other people have to say, and pump yourself up. Because sometimes you won’t have someone else there to give you that pep talk, tell you what a bad*ss you are, you gotta be your own hype person!

Feel like you should have been at your most confident earlier in life? Feel like you’re behind? I’ve got a secret for you…you’re not!

It took me a while to realize that confidence has no age - you can gain it at any time, grow it at any time, and see the results of your self work at any time. Hear how I reflected on my journey and feeling like I should have been where I am now earlier in my life, and how I changed my perspective. Now I feel like the best is yet to come, and you should too!

Does it feel harder to love yourself in the quiet moments? The ones where you don’t have anyone around, nothing to do, no place to be but in your head? As someone who will literally be on their phone, watching a movie, and still looking around for something to do - I can be the poster child for distracted. Which is why it’s so hard to love ourselves when there isn’t anything to distract ourselves. No phones, no screens, no activities, no noise. Just left alone with our thoughts and who we are

And those thoughts in my mind used to be a scary, negative place, so being left alone to love myself when I didn’t love my thoughts was difficult, but not impossible

And as someone that doesn’t like meditating, you can imagine it wasn’t easy! But it didn’t stay that way forever. I’m proud that now I can love myself even when there’s nothing but just little ol’ me - and you can too.
