Forgiving your past experiences


Hey there,

I know it’s been a minute.I missed y’all dearly. I have been deeply introspective lately, and that’s a wonderful thing. Every time I feel like that, I eagerly jump into my laptop just to share these emotions with you guys.

Well, today we're discussing the profound act of forgiving our past experiences. The question is, why should I? How will this even benefit me? The answer is quite simple: it’s only fair for your present self to experience a healed and healthy version of you.The saddest truth is that it requires forgiving yourself for all that you could and couldn’t control. Ever heard the saying, “if it happened, it means God approved it and he’s aware.

I was listening to this inspiring podcast shared by a friend yesterday. They shared a comforting statement saying, “When you fall, I will catch you,” from God. I reflected on it .Think about the countless times you had to start over. The times you had to pick yourself up when not even words like “you will be fine” made sense. Think about the rejection, the closed doors. How many times did you actually stand up and face the next challenge with such resilience? That’s grace, and that’s why it’s so important for you to truly forgive yourself. If God can give you this grace to breathe, it means there’s still time. Yes, you are allowed to cry, but the best gift you can offer your disappointed self is grace to be kinder to yourself.

I’m not advocating for perfection. Establish a timetable. Challenge yourself when possible. No, no, but understand that even the smallest steps are significant. Building momentum doesn’t require a rapid start or a slow beginning; it means starting at a pace you can sustain and for which you can hold yourself accountable



With love

Self belief

  There is something so beautiful about returning to yourself. Hey everyone, I am incredibly excited to be back. Once again, I know it has been a year since I have truly been part of writing and expressing myself creatively, but today I sit here holding so much to say. I finally feel myself stepping back into my creative zone, and for that, I am deeply grateful. Today, I sit with a heart full of gratitude. A heart that has come to understand that sometimes our greatest blessing is simply existing. Sometimes the blessing is waking up, seeing another day, breathing again, and realizing that being here is a privilege. God saw us fit enough to be part of today, and that alone means we are trusted with so much more than we often realize. And today, I want to speak to the person who feels like they are not enough. The person who feels like they have not achieved enough. The person who struggles to see themselves becoming a better version of who they are. The person who feels stuck...

Comparison Is the Thief of Joy

A lot of us have heard the saying, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” But do we truly understand what it means? Today, I want to go a little deeper. I want to paint a picture of how comparison can slowly pull you away from becoming the person you were created to be. I want to show you how staying trapped in comparison can rob you of the beauty of your own journey the beauty of being different, the beauty of taking a route that no one else has taken, and the beauty of discovering a life that was uniquely designed for you. I know it can be difficult. It can be heavy trying to trust the process when it seems like everyone around you is moving faster, achieving more, or living the life you imagined for yourself. But today, I want to encourage both you and me: free yourself from the shackles of comparison. Free yourself from constantly looking to the side and wondering what life would be like if you were someone else. Free yourself from the cage of wishing your story looked like everyon...

Letting Go of What Could Have Been to Welcome What Is More Than You’ve Ever Known

  In many days, we all curate a life that we want for ourselves. We paint a picture of how we see ourselves and how we envision ourselves. We build timelines in our minds, set expectations for our journeys, and silently assume that life will follow the script we’ve written. And I think one of our biggest fears is not just failure, but the possibility of a life that looks completely opposite of what we ever thought it would be. There’s something deeply unsettling about waking up and realizing that reality doesn’t match the vision we held so tightly. It can feel like rejection, like delay, like everything is slipping through our hands. But sometimes what we call rejection is actually redirection. And every closed door is not just an ending  it can also be an opening to a possibility we were never brave enough to imagine. I’m here, in this moment, next year, in a reflection of time, and I’m finally realizing that everything I’ve ever feared has somehow shown up in my life in o...
