Lately, I've been learning that happiness isn't something you find once and keep forever.
It's something you choose in small ways every day.
Choosing to smile even when life feels uncertain.
Choosing to be kind to yourself when things don't go as planned.
Choosing to celebrate your progress instead of focusing only on how far you still have to go.
As a newly graduated psychologist, I've spent years studying emotions, behavior, and personal growth. But one of the most valuable lessons I've learned is that self-love isn't a destination—it's a daily practice.
Today, I felt grateful.
Grateful for my journey, for the people who support me, for the goals I'm still chasing, and for the woman I'm becoming little by little.
And if there's one thing I want to remember, it's this:
A genuine smile will always be one of the most beautiful things you can wear.
