“Don’t give them a taste of their own medicine. They already know what it tastes like. Give them a taste of your own medicine. If they lied, let your medicine be honesty. If they played with your emotions, let your medicine be maturity. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, even if it means removing yourself from lives that you want to be in. You are, no doubt, worthy of being valued for who you are. So be who you are.”

— Najwa Zebian

Unlike most women I know This one will bring it back whole Daisies, daisies perched upon your forehead/ Hands in your hair Fingers and thumbs, baby I feel safe when you’re holding me near Love the way that you conquer your fear You know hearts don’t break around here ——Hearts Don’t Break Around Here （Ed Sheeran）

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF SETTLING

If you find yourself settling in any area of life, it’s time to dig deeper & figure out why. Is it familiarity—sticking with what’s comfortable because the unknown feels risky? Is it a scarcity mindset, convincing yourself that better doesn’t exist or that asking for more is “too much”? Or is it self worth, a belief that you don’t actually deserve more? The truth is, your current standards are simply a reflection of past conditioning, not an unchangeable reality. You have the power to rewrite them. Challenge the belief that “good enough” is the best you can have, because the world is full of opportunities that align with your highest self. Surround yourself with people who expect more, demand more & refuse to settle, because energy is contagious. Make it your reality too. And most importantly, take action—set a boundary, break a cycle, or ask for what you truly want. The moment you decide you’re worth more & act accordingly, everything starts to shift in your favor. Make a conscious fact in your brain that settling is not self love!
