My life was not my own.
And I paid the cost of that.
People took from me without replenishing.
My body and mind became a holding place for everyone elseβs wants and needs.
Depleted.
I gave a lot and got almost nothing back.
Some part of me believed that nurturing everyone before myself was holy.
In the end I was left with nothing.
I gave away my time, my energy, my body, my money.
I lost my direction because my world was about what others wanted from me β not what I needed.
I lost my center. My ground.
I couldnβt tell you who I was.
I said yes even when every cell in my body was screaming no.
Any ounce of sovereignty was trampled.
My sense of self was taken.
Unspoken rules taught me I had to become what others wanted in order to be accepted, loved, and belong.
So I did that. To survive.
I abandoned my own needs so I could stay safe.
Until I wasnβt safe any longer.
When I found healing I was scared and empty.
I had nothing left to give.
I had to find me.
I used alcohol and drugs to stay alive in a world that wasnβt mine.
I starved myself to feel an ounce of control over a self I could no longer find.
You cannot keep yourself while you keep putting everyone else first.
That became my new direction:
How do I become me again?
I started by listening.
This is me. That is them.
Bit by bit I reclaimed my life by setting boundaries β not for them, but for me.
For the first time.
It wasnβt going to be easy.
Everyone was used to the watered-down version of me.
But my life depended on it.
I needed my power back.
I needed authority over my own domain.
If you are the woman who has been giving herself away to stay loved,
who says yes while her body is screaming no,
who cannot remember the last time she belonged to herself β
this is for you.
You do not have to keep becoming what they need in order to survive.
Your only true power is the one that returns when you listen to yourself first
and honour what you hear.
That is your Sovereignty.
That is how you get your life back. Registration is now open Link in bio
