We might not be able to be friends and that’s okay.


• Part of my healing is recognizing that not every person deserves access to my spirit.

• I release relationships that require me to dim, shrink, or dilute who I am becoming.

• I do not need companionship that confuses peace with silence or growth with obedience.

• I am not governed by another person’s fears, projections, or unfinished thinking.

• I honor that others may have beliefs, but I am not required to live inside them.

• My inner world is sacred, and I choose what is planted there.

• I am tending to my own beliefs with care, discernment, and wisdom.

• I nurture thoughts that strengthen me, steady me, and remind me who I am.

• I choose friendships that celebrate clarity, not control.

• My light is not arrogance. My light is alignment.

• I am allowed to grow beyond who others are comfortable understanding.

• I trust myself to know what nourishes me and what drains me.

• I am becoming more myself, and that is enough.
