I love this!
Life has a way of teaching us the hardest lessons in the quietest moments. One of the most important I’ve learned is the value of protecting my own heart and energy. We spend so much time giving pieces of ourselves to people who may never see their worth, and in doing so, we forget how precious our own love truly is. Learning to hold back, not out of fear, but out of self-respect, is a gentle form of strength. It’s about choosing where to shine, who to invest in, and understanding that our peace matters more than the approval of those who cannot match our care.
This is not closing ourselves off it’s honoring ourselves, our boundaries, and the quiet power that comes from knowing we deserve to be cherished in return.🖤
