You are allowed to take up space, to feel, to think, to grow.
You are allowed to evolve, to heal, to repair.
You are allowed to start (and start over).
Aziz Acharki
You are allowed to own your truth.
You are allowed to rise.
Here are some of the most powerful things youll ever learn.
You are allowed to walk away from anything that no longer serves you (and perhaps never did).
You dont need to ask for permission.
Heres what you will also learn.
You are responsible for learning from your mistakes, for not making excuses or playing the blame game.
You are the only one responsible for your health and happiness.
You are the only one who can face your own fears.
You are the only one who can walk the walk.
You are the only one who gets to.
Here are some of the most vital things youll ever learn.
You are not just a body or a face.
(And you own both.)
You are both brilliant and intelligent.
You have thoughts and ideas, and they will create change and make an impact.
You will do big things, not in spite of your darkness but because of it.
You are not delicate.
You are brave, fierce, mighty, relentless, resilient, and strong.
You were made to climb literal mountains (and metaphorical ones, too).
And above all these things, here is the most important thing youll ever learn.
Oh, and those fairytales, they got it all wrong.
The story wasnt about a white horse or a shadow mistaken for a man.
There was no armor.
A woman who chose to rewrite her own story and to become her own hero.
Because she never needed saving.
