Notes for my Woman

Dear woman,

You are beautiful, you are unique. Love your skin, love your hair, love your body, ‘cos there’s only one you.

Listen to your intuition about what is right for you. Take care of yourself because you matter. It is okay to be selfish sometimes.

You’re doing fine. You do not need to put the weight of the world on your shoulders. It is okay to rest.

Please, do not give up. You are capable of doing all that you’ve set out to do. You don’t know who you’re inspiring daily.

You do not need to beg anyone to love you and anyone that doesn’t recognize how special you are does not deserve you.

Do not hide, do not cower, do not be afraid. Do not allow anyone to to make you feel less than you are. Raise your head high and stand proud. You are exactly who you think you are.

You are going to accomplish great things and you will look back at the times when you thought you wouldn’t make it and appreciate your experiences and all that you’ve achieved.

Do not procrastinate and do not be lazy. Do the work and allow your work to speak for itself. Add value, always add value.

You don’t have to be perfect all the time and you do not have to conform to anyone’s standards. Just do you, and remember it is okay to not be okay.

Be open to learning. You can only get better so always grab opportunities to help you improve.

You need good friends. You cannot do life alone. You don’t need to be friends with the whole world and if you have two or three great people in your corner, do not let them go.

You are loved by God, your family, and your friends. Someone appreciates you every day. You are not alone.

Dear woman, I am rooting for you.

Love,

‘Ruona. ❤️

In 2022.

Me, inside my head again.

After everything that happened in 2020, I just wanted to forget and move on and so, I started 2021 without being intentional about the things I wanted and the goals I wanted to achieve.

So dear reader, I took whatever 2021 handed to me because I didn’t allow myself to want much. At some point, I felt like I didn’t even deserve much. It was almost as if I was comfortable where I was and that was my mistake.

I won’t be making the same mistake this year. I am no longer comfortable where I’m at and I want to enjoy all the good things life has to offer in 2022 and more.

In 2022, I want to be proud of myself, love myself, accept myself and stop hiding in the shadows. I don’t want to compare myself to others and I want to be able to speak up for what I believe in and defend what is right with my chest.

In 2022, I want to work towards my growth financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically because why should I remain stagnant?

In 2022, I want to be happy, not for a while but for a long time. I want to be content, grateful for the things I have while not losing hope and faith. I want to be fulfilled in every aspect of life and I want to be at peace with all men.

In 2022, I don’t want to be an option, I want to be the main selection. I don’t want to be anyone’s second choice, I want to be the only choice. I want to throw being fake in the dustbin because that’s where it belongs.

In 2022, I want to be forgiving, I don’t want to lose anyone, and I want to say “I love you” only when I mean it and I want the people that say they love me to love truly and love me for all that I am.

In 2022, I am going to get all the things I want because I deserve them. I hope this year is ready for me because I am ready.

How about you?

Love,

‘Ruona ❤️.
