You Are Allowed

You are allowed.

You are allowed to choose you and make decisions for your own good.

You are allowed to be tired and take time off.

You are allowed to spend time alone.

You are allowed to feel or not to feel.

You are allowed to change and to change your mind.

You are allowed to decide which people are in your space and how much space they will take up.

You are allowed to choose if you want to share what’s in your heart, Or not.

You are allowed to draw boundaries and erase them.

Remember that you don’t owe anyone anything, and the world does not owe you. You are not here to please people or to make them comfortable. You own your zone.

Things will start to change when you realize that you get to decide what you will allow and what you won’t.

People won’t like it, they may not like you, and that’s okay. The fact is they come and go but who you are shouldn’t change based on this.

Don’t let anyone ever tell you who you are or how you must be. People form judgements based on what they see through misty windows, not through the eyes of grace.

They categorize you based on what they “think” to be true, but that is the nature of human beings, they are not God, and their opinion does not hold equal weight to his.

Learn to differentiate.

Don’t overvalue people, don’t make homes out of them. Stand up, strong and tall, take your power back and make things like how they should’ve been in the beginning.

To position yourself for greatness you need to associate with the great.

NB: Identity!

Know and understand that you are allowed, and see how much easier it is to breathe without the approval that you thought you required.

Remember to be yourself and know that that’s good enough.
