Freedom Friday

"Fear is just a feeling—growth is the choice. Step forward, be bold, and own your journey. You are stronger than your doubts!"

Every day, you’re faced with a choice—hold onto the pain, the doubts, the negativity that’s weighed you down, or step into the mindset that will set you free. It’s not easy. Letting go of the past, toxic people, and the version of yourself that settled for less, takes real strength. But here’s the truth: your thoughts shape your reality. If you can sit in negativity and believe the worst, then you also have the power to shift that energy—to believe in something better, in yourself, in the life you deserve. Growth isn’t about waiting for life to get easier—it’s about choosing, every single day, to think differently, to let go of what no longer serves you, and to step boldly into the life that’s been waiting for you all along. The power is in your hands

Grab a sticky note, a dry-erase marker, hell—grab your lipstick if you have to—and write this on your mirror:

"I am strong. I am worthy. I am growing." (or anything you might like better)

Say it out loud. Every. Single. Day. Even if you don’t believe it yet. Even if it feels silly. Because the words you speak to yourself matter—and the more you say them, the more they become truth. 💛

Go ahead, do it now. Your reflection is waiting.

I used to believe that justice—real justice—only came if you fought for it, if you obsessed over it, if you carried the weight of it every single day. But I’ve learned something on this healing journey: sometimes, the best thing you can do is let go and let life handle what you can’t.

This week, I got proof of that in the most unexpected way. Two people who had caused nothing but pain—one, a man I had long been free from physically, and the other, another toxic presence in my family’s life—both faced their consequences. On the same day. At different times. Without me lifting a single finger. One went back to prison. The other got hit with a charge of a not-so-good nature. And just like that, life did what I had stopped exhausting myself trying to do.

For years, I carried the weight of what they did and do, hoping for justice, karma, and some kind of reckoning. But the moment I stopped letting it rule my mind, the moment I truly let go—things shifted. And that’s when it hit me: life moves on its own terms, and sometimes, it delivers exactly what’s needed when you least expect it.

So if you’re still holding on—to anger, to pain, to the need for justice—I get it. But I also know this: the moment you stop chasing what you can’t control and start focusing on healing yourself, life has a way of working things out better than you ever could. 💛✨ Let go. Live your life. You WILL be surprised.
