That’s right I said it 🙊🙀
Story time!!
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was choosing myself over someone who treated me as an option 💯🔥
It took some time for me to fully process this lesson because let me tell you it takes like 💩
But I’m going to be the realest with you right now, after a year of going against my instincts and hoping things would play out differently I had to sit with how much I was losing myself.
I made a vow to myself with my best friend present that I would never lose me in order to keep someone else again 🔥👑
I realized that I can still hold love in my heart for that person, but I NEED to love me more.
I can’t expect someone to show up in ways that I’m not even able to for myself 💯🫠
So I locked in and spent the last 2 years becoming someone I’m actually proud of, trust, respect, and love.
I realized that I had to let go of the dreams of this outdated version of me that was tied to them and create new ones that lit me up 💯💙
I had to figure out who I was without them and what made Chelsea uniquely magical.
I’ve been telling everyone for the last year that I’ve been on this path solidly for 3 years and, though that’s not a lie, I really had to own the fact the first year was more or less a game of back and forth.
Like I knew I needed to lock in on my growth, but I wasn’t ready to let go of what I knew didn’t serve me anymore 🙀🙃
So love yourself enough to know when your presence isn’t valued and teach them how to value your absence instead 💯🔥
I know I just told a whole ass story about a past relationship but this applies to friendships, family, work dynamics, anything where you feel you’re presence isn’t valued to the fullest extent 💯💙
You are capable of creating the life and the version of yourself that you dream of.
You just have to be willing to take the uncomfortable steps it takes to get there 🔥🐦🔥
Don’t let anyone, especially yourself, convince you otherwise.
We’ve got this loves 💙😸
