🌹Today, I take a wedding vow to myself…
As women, we can become so devoted to loving others, building careers, caring for families, supporting our partners, and meeting the expectations of the world around us… that somewhere along the way, we can lose touch with the woman at the center of it all.
We sacrifice our desires.
We quiet our needs.
We become who others need us to be.
And sometimes, without even realizing it, we forget to ask ourselves:
What do I want?
What makes me feel alive?
What brings me joy?
Life will challenge us. Relationships will change us. Other people will have their opinions. Careers will ask for our time. And love can sometimes tempt us to merge so deeply with another that we forget where they end and we begin.
So, today…
I vow to honor the woman I have been, the woman who has survived, grown, loved, given, learned, and sometimes lost her way.
I vow to love the woman I am today, exactly as she is.
I vow to embrace the woman I am becoming with curiosity, tenderness, courage, and devotion. 🙏
I promise to listen to my desires.
To honor my boundaries.
To make space for my dreams.
To nurture my body, my heart, my spirit, and my sensuality.
To never again confuse self-abandonment with love.
Because you see… the most important romantic relationship I will ever have is the one I have with myself.
I feel that the song La Vie en Rose isn’t about seeing life through rose-colored glasses…it’s about choosing to see your own life, your own beauty, and your own imperfections through the eyes of love.
💕 Say it with me, dear one:
I choose me.
I honor me.
I love me.
And I say yes to the woman I am and the woman I am becoming.
