Compassionate…

                                    Thursday...Oh Thursday…

I am compassionate—but not in the traditional, outward-facing sense. My compassion is turned inward. I care deeply about my own happiness, my peace, and my growth. I’ve spent years learning how to love myself, even when I didn’t have much compassion left for anyone else. And yes, that might sound selfish. It is. But I have to choose myself first before I can offer anything real to anyone else.

Today, that self-compassion looked like grabbing a Matcha, finishing my latest book, Shameless, eating a little too much, taking a mid-day walk, and hitting the gym after work. All small things, but all for me.

Now I’m settling in to work on #The100DayProject, watch a little YouTube, and update my Notion page. I feel happy. I feel compassionate. I’m learning how to find joy in new places—and in myself.

                       Again, I am compassionate.

MY journey….
