Not Emotionally. Not Professionally. Not Spiritually. 🥣
🧿 I’m Not For Sale Anymore™ 🇵🇷
Not emotionally. Not professionally. Not spiritually.
There was a time—no tan lejos—when we said yes to everything.
Yes to unpaid guest spots (aka: “opportunities” that drained us). 🤯 Yes to emotional labor nobody acknowledged—listening to complaints, holding everyone’s feelings but our own. 🩸 Yes to showing up early, staying late, and still getting overlooked... because sometimes the fridge was empty, and free food meant survival. 🥣
We thought:
“If I’m good enough, they’ll value me.” ☎️
But spoiler alert: they didn’t. They won’t. And maybe they can’t. That’s not our fault, but it is our wake-up call. 🧠
🧃 Our Old Selves Worked on Empty
We were magic on a budget. 🪄 The go-to. The reliable one. The bring-the-playlist-and-the-prayer one. We said “sí” before even checking our calendars—or our bodies. 🥣
Why? Because we were taught being useful = being lovable.
From our families, la iglesia, school, volunteering... even the workplace. We believed if we shined bright enough, someone would finally mirror it back.
But here's the real glow-up: ✨
That light lives within. 🥣 We’re not waiting for someone else to reflect it. We shine anyway. Softly. Boldly. On our own terms. ☎️
🧠 The Awakening Wasn’t Loud—It Was Lonely
Not one big slam-the-door moment. More like a slow walk away from pretending. A quiet decision to pause, breathe, and start asking:
“Am I choosing this? Or proving something?” 🤯
“Am I aligned—or just afraid?”
That’s when the shift began. Not overnight, but inside. 🌙
⚡ An Energetic Upgrade™
This isn’t just a lifestyle tweak. This is soul renovation. 🩸
We still show up. We still care. But now? We track our energy like our life depends on it—porque sí, it does. ☎️
- ✨ A workshop? It costs prep, presence, recovery.
- ✨ A student who wants more than they give? That costs clarity.
- ✨ A one-sided friendship? That costs bandwidth we don’t owe anymore.
We’re not free anymore™. And we’re definitely not cheap. 💅🏽
🧍🏽♀️ Professionally…
No más teaching for applause or “exposure.” We’re not entry-level—we’re entry-wound-level™. 🫀🩸 Years of healing, fieldwork, and lesson plans… in two languages.
❤️ Emotionally…
We don’t trauma dump just because someone asks “how are you?” We’ve earned our peace. It’s sacred land. 🧘🏽♀️
🌙 Spiritually…
We don’t light candles for broken systems. We bless ourselves. We sage our own worth. 🕯️🥣
And when someone doesn’t honor it?
We leave without bitterness—pero no sin boundaries. 🇵🇷
