I wanted to share my December newsletter!👇🏼
It’s that time of the year again.
The gathering of friends and family to celebrate the holiday season. For some, it will be a delightful reunion, while others experience stressful obligations and awkward moments in toxic situations. And then some of us have chosen to release ourselves from the holiday family expectations and create our own traditions that feel peaceful.
We did not get to choose our family when we were born.
We did not get to choose the way we were raised or the things we were taught.
Although being a grown-up is much harder than we imagined as kids, one of the best parts of it is that we finally get to choose.
Maybe your extended family is amazing, and you just can’t get enough of them. If so, I’m fu***ng happy for you! But if not, please remember that your peace and your happiness matter. They matter a lot. There are no rules on how you should spend your time this season or who you should give your energy to.
You get to choose.
You don’t owe anyone anything.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck in traditions that do not serve you well, then maybe this is the year you finally choose you.
Will it be hard? Most certainly.
Will everyone understand? Highly unlikely.
Will it be worth it? Well, only you can answer that, my dear friend.
As for me, I have never felt more grateful, more peaceful, and more content in my life than now. I have way fewer friends, am only close to 2 out of 8 siblings, and no longer speak to my parents.
But that’s my story and my freedom path.
You have a story too, and you get to write that story however you well damn want to!
I hope this season you remember to prioritize yourself. Life is way too short to spend it rushing around trying to please others.
Happy Holidays to all you beautiful people out there doing the hard work of healing and finding what feels most honoring to you and your path. I love you all. I am grateful for you, and I wish you the very best December yet!
