Homecoming
Homecoming isn’t a final destination — it’s a state I returned to in moments, sometimes losing it, sometimes finding it again.
It’s where strength meets softness, where self-trust takes root, and where pride in who I’ve become rises above what I’ve endured.
These pieces are about arriving, not back to who I was, but forward into someone stronger, clearer, and wholly my own, even if I had to arrive there more than once.


I Am The One Who Stayed | Self Love Mastery
I used to think strength meant pushing through, holding it in, staying silent.
But real strength?
It was staying when the tears came.
Sitting with the girl I once was, holding her hand through the grief.
Becoming the woman who could finally say:
I am safe. I am loved. I am mine.
This is self-love, not just a buzzword, but a sacred practice.
This is mastery.
