Listen Sis, you are not obligated to stay committed to the version of yourself you introduced others to. Some people met you when you were surviving, not living. They met the version of you shaped by trauma and pain. The version formed through abandonment and rejection. The version that learned independence out of necessity. The version that hardened just to make it through. That woman was doing her best, but She was not the full expression of who God created you to be. And it’s okay to say this gently and honestly: That’s not who I am anymore. It’s okay to reintroduce yourself. It’s okay to show up softer, wiser, healed, and more grounded. It’s okay to let go of survival mode and step into purpose mode. It’s okay if the new you makes people uncomfortable, because growth often does. You are becoming the woman God always intended. Not the woman pain created, fear shaped and circumstances demanded. So don’t shrink to make others comfortable with an outdated version of you. Don’t apologize for evolving. Don’t feel guilty for changing. Reintroduce yourself, as the healed version, the authentic version,the God designed version. She’s the one you were always meant to be. #tianastea☕️ #itsteatime
