The light that you contain and shine can not be replicated. So whatever you do, protect it, nourish it, and do not allow anyone to diminish who you are.

“My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.”

Warsan Shire

I thrive in solitude, and very few people are better than the time I enjoy alone. Without hesitation, I will cut out any rot, toxic relationships, or people from my life. This is how much I value my peace. I encourage you to do the same; at the ripe young age of 40, I have decided that bringing peace to others and myself is my primary aim. Is this selfish? Fuck yes, it is.

I’m not sure where this is going, but I want anyone reading this to know they have value.
