Be brave enough to say no. Hold the line. Walk away when you are not met. Know the worth you carry in your bones. Be willing to hurt in order to keep your heart safe. Hold your contract with yourself as the holiest relationship you will ever know.
Let’s get this clear right now. You do not have to say yes to grow, you do not have to say yes to be brave. You do not have to say yes to everything in order to move mountains or be wild or succulent or true. No can be a profoundly powerful word.
I love you, AND. If anyone places a but after words of love and affirmation… that’s your cue to raise your boundary, claim your worth, and if you need to, clear the hell out of that space. Because fuck that, you glorious truth teller, art maker, life liver....
