Not Being Chosen Still Hurts — But I Choose Me Now!!

Some lessons don’t shout — they whisper through the quiet moments. April gave me those kinds of lessons. Heavy, silent, but unforgettable. So here’s what I’ve learned and what I’m taking into May — this time, with more heart, more hope, and more me

•What April Taught Me:

1.🌫️ Not all hurt is loud. Sometimes the loudest pain comes in silence — in places where you expected support but got distance.

2.🪞 Your worth isn’t up for debate. Just because someone doesn’t see your value doesn’t mean it’s not there. Their silence isn’t your measure.

3.🌱 Growth can happen in the dark. Even in quiet, unnoticed spaces — we grow. Slowly, deeply, meaningfully.

4.🧘‍♀️ Healing is personal.No one needs to see your progress for it to be real. If you kept going, that’s enough.

5.✨ Being left out doesn’t mean you don’t belong. You’re not defined by where you weren’t invited — you’re defined by how you keep showing up.

What May Means to Me Now:

1.🔥 I’m choosing to believe in myself — fully and fiercely.

2.🛤️ I’m moving forward — even if it’s one small step at a time.

3.☁️ I’m letting go of guilt and embracing rest when I need it.

4.🌸 I’m focusing on peace over proving, healing over hustling

Because yes — not being chosen hurts.But choosing myself? That heals in ways nothing else can.If you’re reading this and you’ve felt overlooked, unseen, or just tired— here’s your reminder:

You are still enough. You are still growing. You are still becoming.

Let’s make May the month we quietly rise — for ourselves.
