Goodbye 2024
✨ Goodbye, 2024. ✨
I’m stepping into 2025 with peace, joy, and a heart full of gratitude. This past year has been the most transformative chapter of my life—a year spent healing, growing, and reconnecting with myself. I dedicated 2024 to working through trauma, pain, and inner child wounds. I’ve faced mistakes I’ve made, abuse I’ve endured, and emotions I didn’t even know I was holding onto.
I’ve felt it all—anger, disappointment, sadness, being let down, joy, compassion, love, grace, and a sense of peace I never thought possible. At the start of the year, I was broken and buried in shame, much of which I and others placed on me. I didn’t realize how much healing I needed or how far I could come if I just started to love myself.
When you don’t have self-worth, it’s easy to let people take advantage of you or lose yourself chasing validation and acceptance from all the wrong places. For years, I gave so much of myself to people who didn’t deserve it, putting them on pedestals while ignoring my own needs. I made decisions that hurt me, all because I didn’t know better at the time. Now, looking back, I realize those mistakes were necessary to bring me here. If I had to go through everything I went through to get to this place then I’ll take it.
I’ve learned:
People can take everything from you, but they can’t take your truth. That belongs to you and only you.
Your mistakes don’t define you; how you rise from them does.
Healing is messy, but it leads to the kind of peace you can’t put into words.
Vulnerability isn’t a weakness—it’s strength.
I’m not a victim in my story—I’m the hero. The abuse and pain I’ve endured didn’t break my spirit. It made me resilient, and that resilience is a light no one can extinguish. The mistakes I’ve made have only made me stronger and wiser.
I am so proud of the person I’ve become. I’ve faced my limiting beliefs, healed old wounds, and embraced the beautifully imperfect person I am. I’ve let go of shame and replaced it with compassion—for myself and others. The peace and joy I feel now are things I wish for everyone.
I’m entering this new year with gratitude for the love and grace I’ve been shown, for the people who have uplifted me, and for the lessons I’ve learned. I’m ready to keep showing up with integrity, compassion, and love for the people I hold dear. Ready to never take the people that matter for granted again.
A few weeks ago, I told someone, “I’m in my sparkle era,” and I meant it. ✨ This is the beginning of something so bright, so beautiful, and so full of possibility.
I am beyond excited to share this blog with all of you! I can’t wait to bring you along on this journey filled with insights, stories, and everything in between. My hope is to connect with each of you, offering support, encouragement, and a little light along the way—whether you’re looking for guidance, inspiration, or just a moment of connection. I truly believe in the power of sharing, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to hopefully uplift and inspire others through this space.
2025, I’m ready for you. LFG.
