❤️ YOU BELONG TO YOURSELF ❤️

I love this quote by Brené Brown. You belong to yourself, no one else. You can share yourself, your body, your vulnerability, your emotions with people you choose to share it with but just because you share yourself, doesn’t mean they own you. 

.

Never abandon yourself and your truth for other people. Stand in your power and speak your truth. If people leave you when you do, let them go, they’re not for you and it doesn’t mean anything about you. Notice the stories you tell yourself and let those go too 🤗🙏🏼

This year, I had the longest time I was single ever in my life. I really learnt to be with myself. I got to know myself so much better. I felt lonely, I felt free, I felt connected, I felt all sorts of feelings. I wanted to distract myself from feeling uncomfortable emotions by being with someone and I’m so glad I didn’t. It was one of the best things I did, because feeling whole, knowing who I am, without being with someone is very freeing and empowering 🔥

I honestly feel learning to be with yourself is one of the most important things to do to live your truth. You enjoy exploring yourself without having to look outside of yourself for approval and validation. Who are you when you’re not in a relationship? What do you like? What don’t you like? What do you fear people will find out about you? What parts of you do you avoid loving and accepting about yourself? Everyone has a few, you’re not alone. Start from there. See, hold and honour all of you 🤗❤️

I love you 💛
