  • The Quiet Promise I Made to Myself

    The Quiet Promise I Made to Myself

    (Heartful Writings – Part 6)

    There comes a moment when staying is no longer about survival — it becomes about devotion.

    Not loud. Not dramatic. But soft. Steady. A quiet promise whispered inward:

    “I won’t leave myself again.”

    I Am Learning to Keep My Own Heart Warm

    No longer waiting for someone to say “You matter.” No longer seeking permission to rest, to breathe, to just be.

    Instead, I place both hands over my chest and remind myself:

    “You are enough.You always were.”

    Even in doubt. Even in sadness. Even in the silence no one else hears.

    Loyalty to Myself Feels Like Peace

    It doesn’t mean I never get overwhelmed. It means I no longer walk away from myself when I do.

    When shame knocks, I stay. When fear rises, I listen. When I fall short, I hold myself gently, not harshly.

    This is loyalty. Not to a version of me I wish I was —but to the one I am, right now.

    My Safe Place Is Not Somewhere — It’s Me

    Not a house. Not a relationship. Not a future achievement.

    But this breath. This moment. This willingness to sit with myself without trying to change the shape of my sadness.

    To say:

    “You can cry here. You can rest here. And still be whole.”

    The Strength to Stay Doesn’t Come From Force — But From Love

    I don’t stay because I’m strong. I stay because I’ve grown tender enough to not abandon myself.

    And that, too, is a kind of power —not loud, not seen, but sacred.

    Because staying is no longer a fight. It is a coming home.

  • Learning to Stay Close to Myself

    Learning to Stay Close to Myself

    (Heartful Writings – Part 5)

    There’s a moment — quiet but undeniable — when you stop trying to “get over it” and instead begin to stay beside yourself with a kind of gentle loyalty you’ve never offered before.

    Not because you’ve solved everything. But because you finally understand:

    Being with yourself is no longer a punishment — it’s an act of love.

    The Sacredness of Staying

    Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is simply not walk away from yourself.

    To stay. In the fear.In the fatigue. In the questions that don’t yet have answers.

    To stay… and whisper:

    “You are allowed to feel this.” “You don’t have to carry it alone.”

    I Am Learning to Be My Own Comfort

    I used to look for safety in someone else’s arms. Now, I place my own hand over my heart.

    I breathe slowly. I listen gently. I say to the hurting parts:

    “You are not too heavy. You are mine. And I’m not leaving.”

    Kindness Is Not a Reward — It’s a Right

    The version of me that struggles is just as worthy of softness as the version that shines.

    I no longer wait to “deserve” peace. I choose it now — because my pain doesn’t disqualify me from tenderness.

    The Quiet Strength of Not Leaving Myself Behind

    I still have questions. I still feel tired. But now, I carry both of those things with grace — not guilt.

    Because I’ve learned:

    I don’t have to abandon myself to be strong for others.

    I don’t have to disappear to be lovable.

    📬 If this writing touched the part of you that is tired of running, rest here. Stay close. You are safe with yourself now. Subscribe if you’d like gentle reminders like this, from time to time.

    Reflection for You:

    What part of you has been waiting for you to stay?

    Not to fix. Not to silence. But to simply say:

    “I’m here. And I’m not going anywhere.”

    Let that be your beginning.
