I remember in my early days, adjusting myself just to keep someone or something in my life…a friend…a family.
I bought them things, initiated connection, made time for them, always hoping they would do the same. But slowly, I realised that no amount of adjusting or dismissing myself could truly please them…without me eventually becoming a doormat. Yes, I learnt this the hard way.
One day, still young, I decided to stop ignoring how I felt inside whenever I behaved that way…unworthy, depressed, unloved, insecure. None of these feelings were ever true, but because the thought of keeping them around made me happy, I unknowingly neglected myself in the process.
Along my journey, people came and left…some stayed with me for decades. I realised that those who left were never meant to stay in the first place…and for that, I am thankful. In the end, I understood that I was never meant to please everyone just to keep them. I was meant to stay true to who I really am, because only then can the ones truly meant for me find their way back.
Maybe you’ve felt this too…bending yourself to keep someone, only to realise it cost you your own heart. If so, let this be a reminder…you are already enough, and the ones meant for you will never need you to shrink.
Along my journey, I’ve learned that being true to myself is the only way to draw in what’s truly meant for me. If you’ve ever found yourself bending, adjusting, or questioning your worth just to keep someone close…you’re not alone. If this speaks to you, you may explore the Sessions & Offerings page…where I share spaces for deeper emotional clarity and guidance.
No judgment. No performance. No trying to be someone else. Just presence, reflection, and a soft reminder: the right connections never ask you to abandon yourself.
Because you deserve to be heard. 🤍
