Dear Me,
.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you tried so desperately to fix others, when your own hands were shaking. I'm sorry that I didn't give you enough time to heal, that I let you seal the wounds of everyone else whilst yours were still bleeding. I'm sorry that there were days when smiling hurt but you forced yourself to laugh so that no one had to worry about you. I'm sorry that you gave all your time and effort to people who didn't give the same amount back. I'm sorry that there were nights when you cried yourself to sleep and no one bothered to understand why. And I sorry I did not love you, like you deserved to be loved.....
.
.
It is never too late to give yourself the love, patience, compassion and attention that you need. Love yourself.
.

I am super selective about who I let into my life. The people I choose to be a part of life are there because they are amazingly good people.
.
.
I know that I can't trust them and will give them my unconditional respect, love and support. I will lift them up, celebrate and support them because I know they will do the same.
.

Who you have in your tribe, your circle, you life is very important. Your tribe is your lifeline sometimes, make sure you have a good one.

I always try to remember this when things get hard or don't go the way I want them to. .
.
Sometimes you just have to believe that the universe has your back and is looking out for you. If something didn't work out maybe it wasn't meant to and it is actually a blessing.
.
.
Hard times can help you become the person you need to be. They help form you and prepare you for what is coming your way. Ensuring that you are ready.

My beautiful amazing daughter! I celebrate you for all the joy and wonder you have brought to my life. I was absolutely terrified when I found out I was having a little girl 12 years ago. Having never really been a girly girl I didn't think I was going to know what to do.
.
.
I still am trying to figure out what to do. 🤪
.
.
We have had our ups and downs. Our good times and bad. Laughter and tears. And we will have many many more years of all of that and more. And I can't wait!
.
.
You are so beautiful and you have completed my life. I am thankful for you every day. .

I no longer allow people to cause chaos within my life. .
I have to work on this some days more than others but the peace that this mentality has brought to my life is extraordinary. .
I have a history of allowing damaged people around me with the incorrect belief that I could fix them, make them better or that they would change to be who I wanted them to be..
.
I have learned that those people only caused drama, trauma and unhappiness. Now that I know better I SIGNIFICANTLY limit who I allow around me. I do not want emotional vampires affecting my energy and inner peace. .
