It's crucial. It's beneficial. It's mind freeing. It's truly liberating. It's simple. Here's how:

❇️If I had to pick a favorite flower I'd pick...
Actually, I don't have a favorite🤷 but I do know my least favorite are roses 🥀 #unpopularopinions - I don't like their scent👃🤧
🎆I'm curious, what's your fave flower?⬇️⬇️
In the middle...
And not just because I'm the middle child, but because sometimes the aspiring writer in me wants to write long, inspiring captions; other times, I don't feel it and have to keep them short (like me 🙃)
🎆So, do you enjoy pausing your scrolling for a good read or do you prefer reading short captions and continue on with your scrolling??? Are you #teamlongcaptions or #teamshortcaptions?
Comment below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ I'd like to know.
Every word is a promise YOU keep 💕
New backdrop; had to jump in🥾and snap a few 📸
Even if I was already half dressed down. Even though it would show my non-shaven, non-smooth legs and my calves. Which I'm learning to accept and love even if they're not swole. 🌼

👋🏼hola! I'd like to shed some light for #fitnessfriday 💪🏻By the looks of this picture, I've lost inches on my waist. Truth is, I've been at my #unfittest of all times
Younger me would be feeling like 🤦🏻♀️ but #thirtyyearoldme is not even sweating it (pun intended)I get it-it's unhealthy. It's not good for me etc. I've heard it all. I've grown some skin (look another pun) I don't have time for people's criticism & I've learned to hush my own as well.
I was my greatest critic. Which is why I starved younger me. It managed to shrink my waist, but it got me messed up on different levels. Years later, I decided to do it the "right way" I participated in beachbody programs, which worked, but then I became insatiable; wanting more results. What started off healthy became unhealthy.
Obsessing over reaching the next goal-it was never enough. I didn't feel as good as people said I looked. Far from it.
I worked out because I was unhappy with myself. I wasn't fit enough. I wasn't toned enough. I wasn't like the fit people on my feed.
Mind madness. I spiraled out of control. Lost discipline. Felt low. But then, when I stopped🛑 obsessing, overexerting, criticizing, & even exercising new things happened.
I'd be lying if I said, I learned to love myself right then & there because I didn't. I threw pity parties. I blamed myself for letting myself go until the day that I finally got it. Letting go was what I needed to come to peaceful 🕊️ terms with me.
And I started being okay with the #bellyrolls. The #jiggles with every giggle. The #bloating after meals. The visible muffin top as I sat down. Going up in sizes and not having to squeeze myself into size 7 bottoms.
It was liberating. Because I was no longer finding my worth on how my body looks.
I gained inches. But I am still the same witty, creative, curious learner, that has a lot of laughs and love towards others.
I no longer let #mybody control how I feel or be the center of my attention. Which is why I'm okay with my #currentweight. And I'll also be okay if my bike riding hobby starts getting me results because this time I'm not obsessing. I'm enjoying. I'm living!
If you could see my vision
aka see through my eyes👀 or more precise, through my eyeglasses👓 you'd for sure see
1️⃣smudges because I can never seem to keep them clean no matter how much I try & they have scratches to prove it ugh and look there's even a smudge pictured🤦🏻♀️
2️⃣you'd see what I'm trying to do here. And I hope that one day YOU get to see that⬇️⬇️⬇️
✨I'm not aiming to simply have followers, I want to form #friendships 👫👫👯👫👫
✨I'm not just posting to post, I am sharing in hopes to help, #inspire, & resonate with at least one soul 🚶🏽♂️
✨I'm not an extrovert, but I'm #sincere 💗
✨I'm not always behind popular opinion, but I always stand for what I #believe in 💪
✨I may not always be entertaining, but I'm always #empathetic 🤗
✨I don't always feel #positive about my body, skin, or hair but I'll still preach #positivitea while being honest 💯
✨I don't always finish what I start (working on it), but I know the One who always finishes what He starts ✝️
✨I'm not one who thinks what she has to say is important, but I'll use my voice either way 📢 because maybe, just maybe it can help someone. Because maybe if I went through something or am currently going through something uncomfortable, painful, etc... It's for me to share so anyone that is dealing with something similar doesn't have to feel like they are alone (like I have for some time 🕣)
✨ I'm not an eloquent speaker; I've suffered with #socialanxiety for years, but I'd like to tame the #fears that have held me back from using #myvoice for so long.
✨ I'm not sure how-to #makefriends as an adult, but I really do hope I can meet those who share similar #friendshipgoals Those who can see #myvision and want to become a part of it.
Let's build a #community where we don't have to go through things alone. Where we can open up and share the things gnawing at our heart as well as the things that make us glow and fill us up.
Will you join me?
