Be Cringe. Do It Anyway.
You’re allowed to be yourself for the things that make you feel most alive
Good morning, darling 🌞
How are you feeling today? Did you get enough rest over the weekend? Any tiny wins you’re celebrating?
I want to gently remind you that it’s okay to be a little weird. To show up imperfectly. To try something new and not get it right the first time (or the second, or third).
You don’t need to be polished, perfect, or universally understood to start showing up for your dreams. In fact, sometimes the best things in life begin with a little cringe. With shaky hands. With too many feelings.
Whether you’re starting that blog, posting your art, texting first, dancing offbeat, or wearing what makes you feel powerful, do it. Loudly. Playfully. Without waiting for permission.
This week? You’re allowed to be yourself for the things that make you feel most alive.
So here’s your sign: Be cringe. Do it anyway.

🧚✨📒🫶🏼 | Book Retreat With TBR
Last week was a lot. My exam papers were days apart, I got a shipment of some new stuff (I’ll show you later🤭), and then found out not everything came in, some things are still stuck in China. It was just all so overwhelming, and I can feel a big burnout creeping in. So when I saw that @thebookloversretreat team was taking book lovers to the beach, I signed up immediately.
