Joy Is a Daily Decision (And Here’s How I Make It)
I don’t remember the exact moment I decided to start choosing joy—but I do remember the year I felt like I was running on empty, constantly showing up for everyone but myself.

The Good Girl Trap
I was taught to be a “good girl.” To smile politely. To help my mom in the kitchen while my brother rode his bike outside. To be the one who volunteered to clean up after dinner. To never raise my voice. To get straight A’s but never brag about it. To be competent but not bossy. To be nurturing but not needy. To take care of others before thinking of myself.

I stretched across my queen-size bed like a victorious starfish, limbs tangled in a sea of pillows, knowing full well that every square inch of that bed was mine. Every. Single. Inch.
