There are also times when people have random animosity toward you, or secretly hate you, for no reason at all. There are times when people will talk shit about you over little things.

And unfortunately, you can’t control other people’s actions or negativity towards you. You can’t control how people feel toward you and why.

• I don’t have to push through when I’m running on empty.

• I don’t need to prove my worth through burnout.

• I trust my body to tell me what it needs.

It’s fair to say we all want to be loved. Whether it’s romantic, or whether it comes from family and friendships, we crave the feeling of connection and mutual love.

So much of my college years and early twenties post-grad were defined by feelings of confusion and low self esteem due to lack of romantic love growing up.

Being in your mid-twenties feels like a rush. 

You have career ambitions and are trying to figure out what your path looks like, while facing imposter syndrome and comparison. 

You’re trying to find love and potentially start a family, while dealing with complicated feelings and failed relationships and talking stages.
