over the past four months I’ve prioritized my health and wellness by going to bed on time, journaling, cooking more, sticking with a workout schedule and I have never felt better 🥺
This year for the first time, I've started to notice that I:
• no longer feel insecure about friendships
• don't feel bad about saying no to events to save my energy
• protect my non-negotiable time: family, fitness, & creating
• love hanging out with myself 🤍
new age just dropped 🤍 thankful for the growth and adventures that this past year brought, and I’ve never felt so true to myself & happy with who I am.
Excited to see what this year brings & pop off even more ✨

another year around the sun ✨had a quiet day doing the things that fill my soul with my favorite people - being loved is a gift I never want to take for granted
