I *love* this framing: "I learned the hard way that what I think about myself can be strengthened by what others think of me, but it cannot be built on it" because I also enjoy external validation and honestly I've felt bad about enjoying it...
Also, the part about, "nothing dries me up faster than someone who doesn’t recognize that they are deeply blessed to be in my presence" is a WORD!! 😂
A lil validation goes such a long way! I ain't shamed to say it! Thank you so much for reading and for taking the time out to comment, it means so much to me.
I love every word of this essay. It articulates so much of what I feel at this point of my journey. Like...if people aren't applauding every time I step out in these streets? I'm offended! Lol.
I've wondered "What's next?" after you learn to love yourself deeply. And this is it, admitting (and expecting) the universe to match that energy at all times.
Thank you so much for reading and for this message, I so appreciate hearing back from you! And yes, the desire for red carpet energy upon emerging from your home is valid!! I love how you framed that-- expecting the universe to match that energy. That's it! I love that.

Hi Michelle! Thank you for reading, I'm so glad it reached you <3
This is so so real! I resonated with many parts of this. Specifically need external validation to feel safe. So real.
Thank you for reading and leaving a comment. I'm glad it reached you!
A little genuine validation. Your honest , truth, wisdom and wit is admirable.
