im so proud of you! you’ve just started this new journey and youre already shining so bright ✨this is such an inspiring post, thank you for sharing monique! 🔅

hi frances, thank you for sharing something so tough. im so sorry that you were treated the way you were, and i want to remind you that there is absolutely nothing you did that could justify, explain, or excuse what he has done to you. you deserve love, to be with someone who won’t leave you out to dry, and there are so many people out in this world that will treat you accordingly, even if that is just you for now.

ive never been in a scenario like yours but have had my fair share of dealing with toxic social systems and will say that the moment you choose yourself, your life will flourish.

for now i guess i would question: how can you make your life feel like your own? what are some things you can do or not do that brings you power?

some things that helped me when i was living out of a bag and in a place that wasnt my own was to make my living space into my little nest. i think of it as a place to recharge and renew. this physical and emotional space in your life isnt permanent, and that is what makes it special. how can we honor that?

for now, i think doing some emo beats would be amazing! i hope you have kind people around you to talk with, if not, we are here for you! 🧡🌞

youre so sweet 🧡thank you for the recommendation 🥹 i hope you had a beautiful day!

omg i am so jealous of your view 🥹 is that just the sky? it kinda looks like an ocean at the bottom! also ur so sweet 🥲 you inspire me to do my laundry 😭 ill get to that today haha! also, im proud of you for tapping in! im hitting lower body today 🙂‍↕️

more power to you girl! ✨

personally, i hold so much disdain for laundry/domestic chores and am actively working on romanticizing them… but it’s so hard for me to find sparks of joy while washing dishes or folding clothes. one time my hatred for it got so intense that i bought new clothes instead of doing my laundry 😭

im super proud of you for biting the bullet and finding your groove! it’s not an easy task and those who take on the brunt of domestic chores definitely deserve more praise imo. esp when you have to leave your house to clean clothes!

also, that book looks interesting! i’ll be adding it to my TBR, thank you for sharing your wins! 🩵🌞

this one was *chefs kiss* thank you ruth 🧡✨ i feel so warm and activated!
