Sometimes, I stretch myself too thin. Not just physically, but emotionally. Always attempting to hold space for people who never had the intention, nor the capacity, to do the same for me. And that’s a hard pill to swallow. Because somewhere along the way, I convinced myself that being there for people meant showing up … Continue reading Monday Konfession: The Weight of Being Available

Monday Konfession: Everybody Ain’t a Safe Space
Y’all wonder why folk out here struggling in silence?!?! Because when they DO speak on it, they’re met with dismissive remarks, judgment, and condemnation for their feelings instead of compassion. Instead of someone simply asking, “How can I be there for you?” But the minute someone is no longer here by means of self-harm, y’all … Continue reading Monday Konfession: Everybody Ain’t a Safe Space

Not thriving.Not pretending everything is perfectly fine.Just … Continue reading Monday Konfession: When the Safe Space Isn’t Safe

Apparently, even the creator of Monday Konfession needed an extension this week. So here’s today’s confession… I’m learning that consistency isn’t the same thing as perfection. Some weeks, I meal prep.Some weeks, I miss a workout.Some weeks, I forget what day it is entirely. 😅 But I’m discovering that growth isn’t found in never missing … Continue reading Monday Konfession..
