On this faithful day three years ago, I had the biggest breakthrough of my life. It wasn’t some AHA moment had on the beach while sipping on a double cream iced cappuccino. It was everything but beautiful — or pleasant.

It was a defining rock bottom; one I’m grateful for everytime I look back. So I’ll just say this; to whom it may concern; whatever you’re going through right now will pass! However dark it looks. It’ll pass because even the darkest of nights are followed by sunrise.

You might’ve had one of those “na me fuck up!” moments. Moments when you realize you were never the victim. Moments when you were downright toxic. If you’ve had one of those, and you were able to look yourself in the mirror and admit that you were infact full of shit, Congratulations Boo!

Because if there’s anything these past 3 years have taught me, it’s that most times we’re the very bullets we think we are dodging. Yes BooBoo — you might’ve been the bullet all along.

Covering our fuck-ups in a box with colorful ribbons just so we don’t have to own the BS we do — out of sight, out of mind. If you’re able to practice brutal, yet healthy self honesty, you’re doing amazing.

It’s hard to use the mirror for anything more than a hot selfie, it’s hard to admit sometimes that you’re the one who needs fixing. Even harder to face that, the entire time you’ve spent running, it was yourself you were actually running from.

I hope you find your breakthrough, like I did. And I hope you allow yourself experience the good that exists in self reflection and self improvement — again, you’re not a lost cause.

Love & Light

Bee
