Hello my friends,

---

“How do you stay so positive?”
I get asked this often. And here’s my truth:
I don’t.

I feel everything. The joy, the grief, the rage, the numbness. I let it move through me without shame or guilt. I don’t suppress. I don’t fake a smile to make others comfortable. I don’t wear positivity like a mask—I wear my truth like armor.

I am not one-dimensional.
I am a trillion parts—light and shadow, softness and fire, clarity and confusion. And I’ve learned to love every single one.

The goal isn’t to be positive all the time.
The goal is radical self-acceptance.

To sit with your sadness without rushing it away.
To honor your anger without letting it consume you.
To celebrate your joy without fearing it will disappear.

Positivity is fleeting.
Acceptance is grounding.
And when you accept yourself fully, you radiate something deeper than optimism—you radiate truth.

So no, I don’t stay positive.
I stay real.
And that’s where my power lives.
