IDENTITY
You are beautifully woven and intricately designed masterpiece, a beautiful friend.there is not a single person who sees the world how u do.there is no one who has gone through what you’ve gone through - all of the ups you’ve celebrated and how downs you’ve climbed out of.there is no one who thinks about life the way you do, nor anyone who interacts with other how you do. Your identity is entirely your own, my beautiful friend. You are made of beautiful stories and life changing experience, you are made of your favorite songs and books that have changed you. You are made of the people you love and the places you’ve explored … who you are is truly unique and wonderful. Who you are is worth celebrating every single day.

Recycling turns things into other things. Which is like MAGIC

“Recycle
To be recycled means that a material has been re-used for another purpose. This does not mean that it’s origin was of sustainable or an organic form. However reusing that material again is considered more environmentally friendly than manufacturing it again for the same purpose.

#LookGood
# doGood

Project called recycling with @selam__yihun_ ❤️🤗

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23 🤍

This has been my prayer for almost a year now: God, please don’t let my sweet heart change.

Because life will take you through places and seasons you never imagined. It will stretch you, challenge you, and make you question so many things… Am I doing the right thing? What decision should I make? Am I on the right path? Yooo… adulting is NOT easy. 😭

But through it all, I’m learning that God’s grace is sufficient. 🥹

So if you’re reading this, my encouragement to you is: submit to God and don’t lean on your own understanding. Trust that He knows exactly what He’s doing in your life, even when you can’t see it yet.

And always pray for God to protect your heart. 🤍 Pray that no matter what life takes you through, you never lose your softness, your love, or the person God is shaping you to become.

God, keep my heart soft. 🕊️🤍

I’m still grieving too. 🤍

Some days are okay, some days are really hard, and I’m slowly learning that grief doesn’t have a timeline or a “right” way.

I wrote these little reminders for myself, and I thought maybe someone else might need them too.

I hope they give you a little comfort.

May God comfort us through it all. 🤍

Maybe I’ve spent too much time waiting for the “right” moment … for things to fall into place, for life to look the way I imagined it would.

But lately, I’m learning that there is no waiting room for life.

This is it.
This moment. This season. This version of me. 🤍

My life isn’t waiting to begin.
My life is happening right now.

And honestly, I don’t want to miss it while waiting for something better to come along.

#life #lesson #simple #intentional #selflove

Somewhere along the way, I learned to measure my worth by how people saw me.

But I’m slowly unlearning that.

Not everyone will understand me. Not everyone will like me. And honestly? That’s okay.

I’d rather be true to myself than constantly shape-shift to fit someone else’s expectations.

Choosing authenticity over approval, every time. 🤍

#life #lesson #simple #intentional #selflove

I used to look at where I am and think, “I should be further by now.”

But I’m learning to pause and actually look at how far I’ve come.

The things I once prayed for.
The things I survived.
The version of me I’ve grown into.

Maybe I’m not where I thought I’d be, but I’m not where I started either.

And today, I’m choosing to be proud of that. 🤍

Progress doesn’t always look like arriving. Sometimes it looks like realizing how much you’ve already grown.

#life #lesson #simple #intentional #selflove

I think one of the hardest things about trusting life is not knowing how it’s all going to work out.

I want the plan.
The timeline.
The certainty.
The reassurance that I’m making the right move.

But maybe I don’t need to know the whole way.

Maybe I just need to trust myself enough to take the next step … and then the next one after that.

I don’t have to have it all figured out to keep moving. 🤍

I only need to trust the next step.

#life #lesson #simple #intentional #selflove

I used to think slowing down meant falling behind.

If I wasn’t constantly doing, achieving, moving, or checking something off the list, I felt like I was wasting time.

But I’m learning that rest isn’t a detour from the journey.

It is part of the journey.

I don’t have to earn rest by exhausting myself first. 🤍

Maybe you’re not behind.
Maybe you’ve just forgotten how far you’ve already come.
