I’m powering up—like a rocket launch. The grumble, the rumble, the shaky ground—it’s real. From the ashes, we rise.
Sometimes I forget: social media isn’t just people connecting, it’s also people tearing down. And while I’d never put up with that in real life, online I’ve been too generous—handing out time, energy, and grace that should’ve been reserved for the healthy spaces in my life.
The truth? If someone shows me bitterness or cruelty, I get to step away. No explanations, no drawn-out battles—just a clean “see ya.”
I’m learning to trust that boundary, to believe in my own compass. It points north. Always has. But sometimes it needs recalibration—through conversation, perspective, reflection. That’s how I find my center again.
Steady. Grounded. Ready.
Love, Jaclynn
