cutting my cake with my momma
Hi Darling,
I woke up today — 44 years young!
It’s Pisces Season - I am so grateful to see another year.
And all I could think about today was how much life has taught me
about letting go .
Letting go of the version of me
that thought if I just said it the right way.
If I delivered it from this angle,
they’d finally hear me.
Letting go of waiting for someone to wake up and see themselves
when maybe they never will.
And I don’t say that with anger.
It’s just the truth.
There are some people who will hold onto their chaos like it’s the only thing keeping them steady.
And you cannot spend your life trying to pull them out of it.
Because, my darling, you-deserve-joy, too.
Not the kind you have to beg for —
it’s the kind you give yourself when you decide you are worthy of peace, even if they never change .
Gratefulness -
That’s what 44 feels like to me.
Grateful to be here.
Grateful to finally be choosing myself.
And you?
Well, darling, you deserve to choose yourself, too.
Because no matter who they choose to be —
darling, you still get to choose you.
With love, Vee
