I,
Beautiful soul,
And welcome to your powerful morning prayer.
For the child who had to stay quiet.
For the woman who is now free.
For the soul who never stopped hoping,
Even in silence.
Today I wake up and I speak to the little girl inside of me.
The one who felt invisible.
The one who had to be quiet to stay safe.
The one who was expected to obey without question.
To hide her light and never make a scene.
To the one who was told to be sweet,
To be small,
To not take up too much room.
I see you now.
I hear you now.
I love you now.
You are safe with me.
You are allowed to be loud.
To be seen.
To shine.
I no longer carried a silence that was forced on me.
I no longer wear the mask they taught me to wear.
I give myself full permission to speak,
To express,
To take up space.
I don't have to whisper my needs or mute my emotions.
My voice is valid.
My feelings are sacred.
My truth is allowed to echo loudly through the halls of my life.
And the world is better when I speak from my heart.
I was once told who I had to be.
Now I choose who I am.
I am no longer shaped by fear,
Rules or expectations.
I am free to explore.
To play.
To expand.
There are no punishments here.
Only possibilities.
I am not too much.
I am not too sensitive.
I am not wrong for being me.
I am bold and brilliant and worthy of every beautiful thing.
My worth is not conditional.
It is eternal.
It is not something I earn.
It is something I am.
I do not need permission to belong.
I do not need applause to feel valid.
I do not need approval to feel loved.
I am already enough.
I have always been enough.
I am whole without trying.
I am lovable without earning it.
I am radiant simply because I exist.
Today I rise as my true self.
Not the obedient version.
Not the perfect child.
But the radiant,
Wild,
Worthy woman I was always meant to be.
My authenticity is my rebellion.
My softness is my strength.
My joy is no longer hidden.
It is celebrated.
My story is no longer tucked away.
It is told with pride.
I validate myself.
I approve of myself.
I choose myself.
I no longer wait for someone to tell me I am good.
I no longer chase love.
I remember.
I am love.
The little girl in me is no longer seeking someone to save her.
Because I've become the woman who does.
She trusts me now.
She dances now.
She dreams again.
I am the cycle breaker.
I am the healing.
I am the love.
I am the first light after a long,
Long night.
I forgive what try to silence me.
I bless the path that brought me here.
And I commit fully to honoring my voice,
My needs,
And my truth.
Every single day.
I promise to protect my light even when it flickers.
To hold myself with tenderness even when the world is harsh.
I am a divine being.
I am radiant.
I am whole.
I am not here to shrink.
I am here to expand.
I am not here to fit in.
I am here to rise.
I am not here to be liked.
I am here to be loved.
Beginning with myself.
And so it is.
