You are not choosing smallness. You are avoiding a level of emotional independence that once felt unsafe.

Your body remembers a time when standing tall risked disconnection.  Now you are learning that strength can coexist with love and safety.

2.14.26

Self love is choosing what is healthy instead of what is familiar. It is making decisions your future self will thank you for, not ones that soothe the momentary discomfort.

2.13.26

When you place your value in someone else, you give them authority over your peace. Your worth is not something they hand out. It is already yours.

2.12.26

As children, we needed our caregivers. We could not walk away.
When love was inconsistent, we learned to work for it.

A core belief forms:

If I finally become enough, someone will love me the way I needed.

2.11.26

Acceptance is the moment you stop chasing what is outside of your control and begin tending to what is inside you. That is where peace begins. That is where strength is grows.

 Dearest Son

I love you more than you can imagine.

I will believe you in for ever and always.

May this be a wonderful year for you.

2.9.26

 The Happiest of Birthdays to you. 

Love you the Most.

2.8.26

 You are not too much.

You are simply too strong for people who prefer you small.

They are uncomfortable with your growth.
Not with you.

2.7.26

Healing your trauma is a daily practice.
It is the work of returning to your body, listening to your feelings, and meeting your beliefs with curiosity.
This is your work, your path, your practice.
Be loving with yourself every step of the way.

2.6.26

 Staying present is hard.

We have been trained to leave, to chase what is next, to grasp for what we do not have, to escape what feels hard in this moment. 

However, life actually happens in the present moment. Practice staying in this moment.
