Dear Brown Girl,
First of all, I want to commend you for the courage it took to speak up about how you felt. Taking that step is never easy, but it’s a powerful declaration of your self-worth and your right to be heard. You’ve just unlocked a new level of freedom and self-respect.
For too long, we often feel the need to hold in our feelings to spare someone else’s, fearing that our truth might be too much or that it could disrupt the peace. But here’s a beautiful truth: your feelings are valid, your voice matters, and you have every right to express yourself authentically.
When you hold back your feelings, you are carrying an unnecessary weight, a burden that can diminish your spirit and dull your shine. Speaking up, however, releases that weight and affirms your right to be respected and understood. You are no longer walking on eggshells; you are walking in your truth, and that is incredibly empowering.
Remember, expressing your feelings isn’t about creating conflict; it’s about creating clarity and fostering genuine connections. The people who truly care about you will value your honesty and will want to understand and respect your boundaries. And those who don’t? Well, they may not deserve a front-row seat in your life’s journey.
Every time you speak your truth, you are setting a powerful example for others, showing them that it’s okay to stand up for themselves. You are inspiring other brown girls to find their voices and embrace their worth. Your bravery is a beacon of hope and strength.
Keep speaking your truth, dear Brown Girl. Keep embracing your feelings and letting them guide you towards healthier, more authentic relationships. Your voice is a powerful tool, and using it will continue to lead you towards greater freedom and self-love.
With Infinite Love Always,
Your Truest Self 🖤🤎
