Heal Yourself

When the relationship ends, the mind replays memories like old songs. Not because we want to go back but because we’re still learning how to let go. There’s something no one tells you about healing after betrayal. It’s not just about the person. It’s not just about what they did. Sometimes, the hardest part is making peace with the good memories the ones you thought were real… but now make you feel foolish. You remember the small things. A song that felt like it was meant for you. A smile that made you feel safe. A moment where you felt like maybe, just maybe, love was real this time. But the truth hits later. That the song wasn’t just yours. That the warmth you felt was one-sided. That what felt deep to you was maybe shallow for them. And then comes the overthinking spiral: “Was I that naïve?” “How did I miss the signs?” “Why do I still care when they clearly didn’t?” It’s wild, isn’t it? You’re not crying because you want them back. You’re crying because the version of th...

A few years ago, if you'd asked me "Is money everything?" I’d have said no without blinking. I believed in emotions. In love. In friendship. I believed that people cared more about connection than currency. I was wrong. Not because money isn’t important it is. We need it to live, to grow, to support ourselves. But I didn’t realize how easily it could overpower things I thought were sacred. When Money Walks In, Relationships Walk Out? I’ve seen it happen. People who once stood by you like a rock... Who promised, "We’re in this together"  Who took your kindness, time, even sacrifices  Change completely the moment money becomes part of the equation. Suddenly, your worth is measured not in memories or moments, But in how much you gave or didn’t. Not in love but in loans. And worse? Even the good you did for them becomes... Twisted. Forgotten. Ignored. What Hurts More Than Losing Money?  Losing Meaning. It’s not the money. It’s how quickly it erases every...

I used to think healing meant becoming calm, always kind, never triggered. But the real growth came when I let myself be real — not just peaceful. At first, I thought healing would look like calm mornings and clean routines. Yoga. Green smoothies. Always knowing the right thing to say. Always being the “bigger person.” But that version of healing? Was just another mask I was wearing. I wasn’t healing. I was performing peace. Here’s What I Didn’t Expect: Healing didn’t just soften me. It stripped me bare. It made me speak up when I used to stay quiet. It made me walk away from people who “meant well” but hurt me anyway. It made me confront my own shadows — the anger, the jealousy, the guilt I used to bury under smiles. The Real Turning Point? When I stopped trying to be good — and started trying to be true. That meant having hard conversations. Setting boundaries. Saying “I’m not okay” without apologizing for it. Letting my no be no. Letting my yes be full. It meant being mi...

Letting Go of the “Perfect Life” Illusion One Honest Morning at a Time. What This Is About Everywhere you look online, someone is “crushing it.” Waking up at 5am.  Running marathons. Launching a side hustle, meditating, eating kale, ticking off goals. I used to watch and wonder—what’s the secret? Are some people just wired for greatness? Let me tell you how * letting go  * of all that actually made my life lighter, better—and how it might work for you, too. When the Hustle Got Old A while ago, my mornings were a mess of to-do lists and guilt. Scrolling through “10 things successful people do before breakfast” articles, I’d start my day already feeling behind.  My coffee went cold while I tried to plan the “perfect” day. I figured if I hustled hard enough, maybe I could finally relax and enjoy the payoff. But the payoff never came. Even when the boxes got checked, something was missing.
