Stand Tall in Your Truth: Be Proud, Be You

You ever put your heart into something—like, really put your all into it—only for it not to hit the way you thought it would? That’s been on my mind lately. Every blog I write, every message I drop, comes from the same love, the same energy. But some get more love than others. I could sit here and try to figure out why, let the numbers mess with my head—but nah. That will never stop me from speaking my truth.

I’m proud of who I am. Even when I get off track, I always find my way back. That’s the journey. It’s never about being perfect—it’s about choosing yourself over and over again no matter what.

And if you’re reading this, I need you to know—be PROUD of who you are. No matter where you’re from, how you identify, what you believe in—stand tall in that. Who you are is not up for debate, and it damn sure doesn’t give anyone the right to disrespect you. If your heart is pure, if you move with love and good intent, that’s all that should matter.

This right here is why I created Love You First Journey. I wanted a space where people felt empowered to put themselves first, to love who they are loudly and unapologetically. Because real talk? Self-love is contagious. When you love yourself, it spills over. You show others what’s possible. You give them permission to do the same.

And this isn’t just me saying it—yoga backs it up, too.

🔹 Yoga Sutra 1.3: “Then the seer abides in their true nature.”

Basically, when you strip away the doubt, the outside noise, the need for validation—you come home to who you really are. And that? That’s powerful. That’s peace. That’s the flex.

So, let me ask you—

✨ What’s one thing about yourself that makes you proud?

✨ When was the last time you celebrated YOU—just for being you?

Take a second. Let that sink in.

Put your hand on your heart and say it with me:

🔥 I am worthy. I am enough. I am proud of who I am. 🔥

And let that be the energy you move with—today and always. 💛
