Eleven unforgettable truths 2021 taught me
your healing comes first
boundaries will nourish you
being busy is not glamorous
heavy emotions are temporary
say yes only when it feels right
self-awareness helps you react less
build with emotionally mature people
embracing change lifts up your peace
saying no supports your mental health
healing yourself helps heal your connections
you lose yourself by trying to please everyone
