Many girls have never seen what healthy love looks like. If all you know is chaos, you might think cheating is normal or harmless. Some people are acting out trauma without knowing it. That’s why inner healing is so important.

Girl, I was there for almost two years — not quite broken but not whole either. What helped me was letting go of timelines. Purpose doesn’t keep office hours. I listened to that inner nudge you talked about. It started with therapy.

I once told a guy “I’ll shrink myself to make you stay.” That was 3 years ago. Today I journal, I pray, I create — and I know who I am becoming. This conversation is so needed. You can’t attract what aligns with you if you don’t know who you are first. 💜

I didn’t know I was experiencing anxiety until a friend pointed out that I often avoid things because I’m afraid I’ll mess up. Recognizing it helped me feel less alone.

I was hesitant to start therapy, but it’s been a safe space for me to talk about things I usually keep to myself. Just knowing that someone is listening without judgment has been incredibly comforting.

Joining study groups can be a great way to meet people in a new environment. It gives you a chance to connect academically and socially while working toward a common goal.

Healthy friendships are based on balance—both people give and take equally. I make sure I’m putting in effort, whether it’s organizing hangouts or just sending a text to check on my friends.

I had a friend who was very negative and often made me feel guilty for having fun without them. After some reflection, I decided it was healthier to surround myself with more positive influences.

I talk openly with my friends about my limits and values. It was awkward at first, but now they understand me better, and it’s actually made our friendships stronger!

I often make a weekly planner to map out my assignments and free time. It helps me see when I can hang out with friends without compromising my study schedule.

I get it; the struggle with body image is real. To cope, I’ve started following body-positive influencers who promote real beauty. It reminds me that all bodies are beautiful, including mine.

Comparing myself to others on social media has been hard on my self-esteem. I now try to remind myself that social media is just a highlight reel. No one posts their struggles or imperfections, so it’s unfair to compare myself to a curated version of someone’s life.

I had a situation where I felt like my friend was excluding me from plans. It really hurt, but I decided to talk to her about it instead of staying silent. Turns out, she didn’t even realize I felt left out. Sometimes, being open can help fix things faster.

For a long time, I let societal pressures dictate how I felt about myself. But I’ve learned that confidence comes from within. I began focusing on what makes me unique, like my creative abilities and the way I see the world. Once I embraced my individuality, my confidence grew.

Wow. You spoke for so many of us who grew up being told that “being chosen” was the goal. I’m unlearning a lot, and your words just gave me more courage to stay the course. Thank you 💫
