1. Live close to your truth, even when it’s inconvenient.
Pretending will keep you accepted, but never happy.
2. Protect your peace like sacred fire.
Not everyone deserves access to your silence, your time, or your nervous system.
3. Feel everything fully.
Happiness doesn’t come from avoiding pain, but from being real enough to let it move through you.
4. Give your inner child a voice, a place, and a garden.
Let her play, cry, create, and rest. She knows joy better than your adult self ever will.
5. Do not chase people. Attract what resonates by becoming who you really are.
The right souls will find you by the light you stop dimming.
6. Let go of the need to be understood.
Some people won’t see you until they’ve found themselves and that’s not your burden.
7. Create. Always.
Even when life feels hollow, write, sing, draw, plant. Creation is your soul’s exhale.
8. Forgive yourself for who you had to be to survive.
There’s no shame in the masks you wore, only power in removing them.
9. Touch the earth often.
She remembers what you forget: that you are enough, just as you are, without titles or noise.
10. Love not perfectly, but wildly and sincerely.
Even if it breaks you, even if it doesn’t last. The heart expands each time it chooses love.
