✨ I Have a Name. I Have a Life. But I Am Still Learning to Love Myself. ✨

This post has no author.
Perhaps you wrote it – in silence, somewhere between the breaths no one noticed.
If even one sentence touches you – let it stay. Don’t analyze. Just sit beside yourself.

I have a name. I have a life.
But the truth is—I don’t yet have what I truly need:
respect and love for myself.

I’m afraid of tomorrow.
I’m afraid of people—what they might say.
I’m afraid of judgment.

Why?
Because I don’t trust.
I don’t trust that I’m enough.
That I don’t have to make others happy in order to feel worthy.
That I don’t have to earn someone’s smile or kindness.

So I smile at everyone.
Without expecting a smile in return—not even a glance.

But I believe that my smile reaches somewhere.
That it touches someone’s heart.
And that person will pass it on—
in another form, in another moment.

Like the butterfly effect—
It ripples out into the world.

So never think you’re doing too little.
Or that you are not enough.

Because that one smile you gave,
in Alegría...might save someone’s life.

That’s life.
So go—
and smile from your heart.
It will return.

🌱 Soul Practice

A 7-day invitation to remember who you are.

  1. Write down 5 things you love (about yourself, your life, or simply what brings light).
  2. Fold them gently and place them in a small box.
  3. Tomorrow, write 5 more—without thinking too much.
  4. If the same ones return, that’s okay.
  5. After 7 days, open the box. Read your notes aloud.
  6. Watch your body. Listen to your heart.
    Let yourself be surprised.
