I was looking at this quote earlier and it took me back a year, few years back. Back when I was an expert in holding on to the things I adored, back when I would give up almost everything to be able to hold on, to be able to be there for my loved ones, whatever you might call it, I did it.
It was a horrible time I tell you. I lost my authentic self, sacrificed my wants and needs for nothing just because I didn't realize that in the end you have to be there for yourself because no one got you like you.
Fast forward few years now I'm "fearfully fearless.
I fear I will lose my loved ones one by one but fearless that I will get through it all with my head held up high.
I fear I will not be people's first choice but I'm fearless cause I am my first choice. The one that truly matters.
As Rupi Kaur said "Nothing in this world was promised or belonged to you anyway."
And that my friend is what strength looks like.
Ps: Fearfully fearless is a phrase I took from one of Pomy's writings I adored.
