Life lessons...

Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons, doesn't it? My journey has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, and healing and growth. Through it all, I've come to realize the importance of surrounding myself with the right people. Some have earned a spot at my table, while others have shown their true colors and won't be getting a second chance. It's all about learning and moving forward with those who truly support and uplift you.

I used to think my side of the story was the only one that mattered. But as time passed and wounds turned into scars, I understood that life is too short to dwell on the past. Instead, I focused on my own well-being and happiness. I let go of toxic relationships and embraced those who bring positivity into my life. It's liberating to know that I have the power to choose who gets a seat at my table.

Now, as I look around my table, I see a group of amazing individuals who have stood by me through thick and thin. They are the ones who bring laughter, love, and support into my life. I've learned that it's not about the quantity of people at your table, but the quality of relationships you have. Life is too precious to waste on those who don't value you. So here's to surrounding yourself with those who truly deserve a seat at your table.
