Choosing yourself isn’t always going to feel empowering.

Sometimes it looks like guilt. Difficult conversations. Disappointing someone you love. Even walking away from something you once wanted.

Maybe the question isn’t “Will this hurt someone?”
Maybe it’s “What will it cost me to keep saying yes?”

You can grieve what you lose without regretting that you finally chose yourself. 🤎
