THE 10 GREAT LIES
(and the truths that break them)

✖️ LIE #1: You are not enough.

You must earn, fix, hustle, and improve to deserve love, rest, or safety.

✨ TRUTH: You were born whole.

You carry the Sun. You do not need to earn what was never meant to be withheld.

✖️ LIE #2: You are too much.

Too loud, too sensitive, too needy, too alive. Be smaller so others feel safe.

✨ TRUTH: Your fullness is not a threat.

Your radiance is permission. You are not too much—they were unready.

✖️ LIE #3: You are too much.

Too loud, too sensitive, too needy, too alive. Be smaller so others feel safe.

✨ TRUTH: Your fullness is not a threat.

Your radiance is permission. You are not too much—they were unready.

✖️ LIE #4: Love must be earned.

Be good. Be pretty. Be quiet. Be less. Then maybe you’ll be loved..

✨ TRUTH: Love is NOT a reward.

It is your birthright. The real ones love you as you are—not as you shrink.

✖️ LIE #5: Your body is a problem.

Hide it. Hate it. Correct it. Your body is the reason you aren’t enough.

✨ TRUTH: Your body is NOT wrong.

It is an altar. A map. A home. Nothing sacred needs permission to exist.

✖️ LIE #6: You are alone.

Your pain is yours alone. No one will understand. Stay quiet.

✨ TRUTH: You are part of a field (community).

There is a place where your grief is understood. You are not the only one.

✖️ LIE #7: If you suffer, you're doing it wrong

Healing should be linear. Positive. Quick. Keep smiling. Don’t grieve too long.

✨ TRUTH: Pain is NOT failure

Suffering is not shameful. Healing is messy, sacred, and non-linear.

✖️ LIE #8: There is not enough

Not enough time, money, love, beauty. So compete. Hoard. Perform.

✨ TRUTH: There is enough when we stop pretending otherwise

The world blooms when we share. You don’t need to fight to exist.

✖️ LIE #9: Someone else knows better.

Your intuition is dangerous. Defer. Obey. Don’t trust yourself.

✨ TRUTH: There is enough when we stop pretending otherwise

No title, degree, doctrine, or expert can replace the truth in your bones.  Having a degree does not make someone smarter than you.  

✖️ LIE #10: You can be replaced

You’re just one of many. Stay marketable. Stay useful. Be agreeable.

✨ TRUTH: YOU are not replicable

You are the only version of your light that will ever exist. Nothing can replace you.

CLOSING INVOCATION

This is your reentry.
Your unbinding.
Your soul stepping out of the systems and saying:
“I remember who I am.”

You are not a glitch in the machine.
You are what the machine was built to erase.

Burn the lie.
Breathe in the truth.
Begin again—this time, as the whole you.
