I realised I was keeping my old wounds fresh for a trial that would never come — that was stealing my life more than my trauma ever did. 

A common theme online today is the pressure to conform — the idea that we must all share the same beliefs, with differing opinions always met with others' views pushed as gospel. My ideal love does not have to be yours. Each of us is entitled to our own dreams of romance. I am free to seek out my own desires, and you are free to find the kind of relationship dynamic you deem perfect in your eyes. 

Discipline is nothing but the highest level of self-respect. You don’t deserve the results if you won’t work for them. However, I think that’s where some get discouraged—not because the dream is unattainable, but because discipline has been miscast as deprivation. To float through life is easy, but if you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want will become the sacrifice. 

I create and I style, to not merely dress, but inspire confidence and authenticity. We each have a different voice, an original opinion, and a unique perspective. Fashion is a form of self expression, a language beyond words, and our personal style is built from our own originality. Discovering your true self, and carrying that identity through everything you do, create, and wear will transform your reality. 

Instead of acting out of impulse, anger, and hurt, take a minute, breath and remind yourself: "Sometimes things fall apart, so that better things can fall together" - Marilyn Monroe,"Karma never misses a soul", "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes" - Winston Chruchill

Comparison makes you blind to your own progress. There is enough money, enough jobs, enough attention, and whatever is meant for you will find you. The one thing there is only one of however, is you. No matter how hard anyone tries, no one can be you. So, be you!

It's easy to radiate good energy when life is gentle; the real test comes when it isn't. Once you master control over your emotions, you reclaim your power. Choose grace over impulse, kindness over chaos. The goal isn’t to suppress your emotions, but to respond with intention rather than reaction. Be so grounded in your self-control that others are left in awe of your calm.
