If something in you stirred while reading this—good. That’s the part of you that remembers who you are before the world told you who to be.
FOPO will show up—it always does. But you get to choose whether it drives or just rides along.

You are not here to be liked. You are here to be lit up.
No fear. No shame. Just love. Just truth. Just you.
