Selfish? No babe. It’s sacred.
Choosing yourself is not betrayal. It’s devotion.
Hey love,
Let’s get one thing straight
Choosing yourself isn’t selfish.
It’s sacred.
But I know how heavy it can feel.
The guilt.
The second-guessing.
The fear that someone, somewhere, will call you too much, too cold, too distant.
Because you said no.
Because you took space.
Because you dared to protect your f*cking peace.
But what if the real betrayal isn’t choosing yourself?
What if the real betrayal is abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable?
OFH doesn’t ask you to burn bridges.
It asks you to stop crossing them when they lead you away from who you are.
Read that again.
This life? The one you’re building
It wasn’t made for constant compromise.
It wasn’t made to be palatable, polite, or people-pleasing.
It was made to be yours.
So say the no.
Cancel the plan.
Raise the standard.
Make the boundary a prayer.
Make the peace non-negotiable.
Because the moment you choose yourself,
you remind every woman watching that she can too.
That her worth isn’t earned through exhaustion.
That her joy doesn’t need permission slips.
That her truth is enough — even if no one claps for it.
✨
OFH Invitation:
Where in your life are you still calling it selfish —
when it’s actually sacred?
You didn’t come here to perform.
You came here to remember.
Soft. Strong. Sacred. Always.
