Gratitude

Energy never lies. We can feel it in every action, word, situation, condition, place, object, and person long before the mind begins to process it.

Last weekend, I attended an event where I met many people from different walks of life. At one moment, a guy complimented my dress: “You are so gorgeous". I smiled, said thank you, and started explaining why I chose to wear that dress. But before I could finish, he gently cut in and said, “Just own it". I instantly stopped my word and got the energy behind that. The energy was uplifting, encouraging, and deeply empowering. It hit me in a way that made me pause and reflect.

Before leaving the event, I said goodbye to everyone, waving my hands and giving hugs. When I hugged one of the guys, his embrace carried such warmth and kindness that it caught me off guard. In that moment, I felt like crying, his energy was so gentle, it touched something deep in me.

On the taxi ride home, I cried. Tears flowed as I began to realize so many good things I had never truly noticed before. There was a deep sense of gratitude and tenderness behind those tears, like my heart was finally catching up with everything I’d been feeling.
