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
