You Had My Happiness… But You’ll Never Hold My Joy | Raw Empowerment, Emotional Freedom & the Power of Choosing Yourself - Part 5
Let’s get real, babe. ♥️
There’s a silent battle almost every woman on this planet is fighting — and it’s not always the big, dramatic ones you see in movies. Sometimes it’s the quiet ache in your chest when you smile through pain.
The lump in your throat when someone crosses your boundaries but you stay silent because you were raised to “be nice.” The guilt after saying "no." The shame after saying "yes" when you didn’t want to.
It’s the exhaustion of being the strong one. The dependable one. The “she’ll figure it out” one.
It’s fighting to be promoted in a room that overlooks you πΌ.
Fighting to fit in without losing yourself π️.
Fighting to be strong when all you want to do is fall apart π.
Fighting to be enough in a world that keeps moving the bar higher and higher πͺ.
We bend until we break just to be loved.
We smile through the storm just to keep the peace.
We carry what should’ve broken us like it’s normal — because survival became our second skin.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t have to be everything for everyone.
You don’t have to shrink your needs to make space for someone else’s comfort.
You don’t have to wear pain like a badge of honor.
This is your permission slip to be raw.
To be messy.
To unravel and rebuild.
To cry in the shower πΏ. To scream into your pillow. To write the angry letter and never send it ✍π½.
To choose you without guilt or apology.
Because every woman has been blamed for her own heartbreak.
Every woman has been told she’s too much, or not enough.
Every woman has felt the sting of betrayal from someone she trusted — a partner, a parent, a friend, a boss, a lover, a pastor, a stranger π.
And yet, here you are.
Still standing. Still soft. Still sacred ✨.
So this is your reminder, sis:
You are not weak for needing rest π.
You are not dramatic for wanting to be heard π️.
You are not broken — you are becoming.
And the next time someone tries to make you feel guilty for evolving, for healing, for choosing YOU?
Look them dead in the eye and say:
“I’ve carried everyone else’s weight long enough. Today, I choose to carry myself.”
Open Discussion:
Have you ever stayed in a relationship, a job, or a friendship just because you were scared to let go?
What did it cost you — and what did you gain once you finally walked away?
Drop your story below, babe. Let’s hold space for each other.
