“Your presence is a choice, not a compromise.”

Whether you attend a holiday event or stay home, make sure the choice comes from your center, not your wounds.
Show up because you want to, not because you’re proving something.
Stay home because you need peace, not because you’re punishing anyone.

Your emotional placement matters more than your physical placement.
Strength isn’t pretending everything is fine, it’s knowing how to enter a space without abandoning yourself.

When you show up whole,
even silence becomes love.

Gentle Practice:
Today, ask yourself one honest question:
“What version of me is making this decision, my healed self or my hurt self?”
