I hope you’re proud of all the times you did what was right for you. I hope you’re proud of all the times you stopped instead of pushing through.

I hope you’re proud of all the times you went at your own pace. I hope you’re proud of all the times you realised your best is, and always will be, enough. ~ Page 220 of my book, ‘Everything is Always Changing.’ Available via my shop and Amazon worldwide 📚🌍💛 xx
