She Was Done Not Fully Being Herself.

And one day she just realized that she was done not fully being herself, the only self she could be. Not being her true self was a disservice to her soul and the world.

She was done questioning her motives, intentions, and what she knew was right in her soul. She knew that with questions she needed to seek answers, but maybe she already knew the answers.

She was done with the distractions and denials that pulled her away from the true desires of her soul. She had always been so focused and committed and that was where her strength and character came from.

She was done battling with herself, and trying to change who she knew she was meant to be, because the world wanted her to be someone else.

She was done analyzing all the options before she took the leap. It was time for her to leap even though she knew that meant not knowing where she would land.

She was done playing small so that others would feel comfortable and fit in. She finally realized that shining her light and being brave made others want to do the same.

She was done not trusting. She knew she had placed trust in untrustworthy people in the past so to build her trust back she learned to trust the one person she could always trust... herself.

She was done looking for love. She realized that accepting and loving herself was the best kind of love and where she needed to start to build other loving relationships.

She was done beating herself up and being so hard on herself, because neither of these things made her grow or feel better. She realized it was time to be kind to herself.

She was done being drained by others. She stopped giving her time to people who didn't want to take the time to build their own healing process and took a shortcut through hers.

She was done seeing hurt as something that needed to be avoided, foreseen or somehow her fault. She realized the hurt she had experienced had shaped as much as joy had and she needed both to grow.

She was done jumping to conclusions. And even if it made things feel awkward she needed to ask.

She was done being sad. She had realized that her sorrow arose when she betrayed her soul and made choices that weren't true to herself.

She was done needing permission or validation. She was her own authority.

She was done being something she was not and not being true to who she really was. The purpose of life was to be truly happy.... and the person she was born to be. And she had finally recognized herself.
