This brought me to tears with its beauty. Trying to learn who I an underneath the shield of people-pleasing and other facades I used to survive feels impossible at times.

Ahh I apologize for the tears (but not the beauty?) :) You will learn, and we'll be right beside you when you do.

I absolutely LOVE this. Also; I love the photo for this Signal Fire. 🤍A lot of us, (I feel like) most of the times the ones who've been through really tough trials or may be going thru really tough ass times? We just feel less. I am speaking to myself very much here. I adore this Signal Fire post. 💜

You, yourself, THE person YOU are is so much more than enough. Shine bright like a Diamond with your quirks, differences, and your LIGHT!

Your trials, setbacks, even friends (that you may think that are so far ahead of ya in this life) don't define you.

Honestly, in a way, they REFINE you. 🌟

Yes Taylor, yes yes yes. Refine is such a wonderful way to put it.

Guilty! But I do notice that I care less as I get older. Or, rather, that I am not as afraid to express my true self, opinions, preferences. I have often wondered how I would live my life if I didn’t ‘worry’ about this at all.

This is so serendipitous and timely for me. I realized just this weekend that the way I love and see others (for the wonder of who they are and the beauty they bring to the world) is exactly the way I should be loving myself - it was a discovery of the how and I am vowing to practice and practice and practice loving myself in this same way.
