"Let them but also let you", powerful interpretation of this Sabah, and I have spent most of my life afraid to speak my truth, the light in my eyes dulled at some stage, and now I am trying to understand and make sense of why, and to find the courage to speak up and show up authentically for myself. Thank you so much for having the courage to write and sharing this here on Substack 🙏🌻
Dear Samantha, firstly thank you so much for reading and connecting with these words. And secondly, I hear you and feel you, so much. It’s not easy to stand up for yourself when you’ve lived so much of life always taking the back seat.. there comes a time though, as it has for me lately, where I am beginning to choke on all the words I haven’t said, and so they must come out. Sending you love, strength and courage on your journey. And please know, you deserve more and better.🙏🏽💛💛💛
Wow, I wrote a poem titled "getting the words out" when I first joined Toastmasters, I will share it on Substack soon, that is true, we eventually choke or projectile vomit, neither of which is healthy for us 😂
Wow, Sabah! With each post, I feel you harnessing your power and unleashing your voice, and damn, do your words hit! I love the “Let Them” theory (hadn’t heard about it before), and the idea of us being the ones to see and hear our own selves. We looked elsewhere for support and validation and got none. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t deserve it. More and more I feel, Sabah, that the world is deaf, the world is blind. It is a minority of people who have the discernment and capacity to really see us and hold space for us. Which makes it all the more important that we hold space for ourselves, too (also, to teach our kids how it’s done). Thank you for being so brave as to share your story and wisdom with us!❤️
Thank you my beautiful friend. Yes to everything you just said, but oh, how difficult that can be when all you’ve ever known is the opposite. May God help us all who wish to truly hear, see and believe ourselves, and therefore hear, see and believe Him. 🙏🏽💛💛💛
Sabah, this is such an amazing and powerful message. I’ve heard about the 'Let Them Theory' from Mel Robbins' podcast, and it resonated with me too. It’s a powerful reminder that while we can’t control others, we do have control over our own choices and boundaries. Your reflections on this are so insightful and encouraging. Thank you for sharing your journey and wisdom! Lots of love and duas 🤗❤️🥰😭💛
My pleasure. You're absolutely right, Sabah. Having that choice, even when it's tough, is so empowering. Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement! ❤️❤️❤️✨

Thank you so much, Saira! And yes absolutely. We always have a choice, as difficult as that choice can be at times. There is always a choice. 🙏🏽💛💛💛
You are an inspiration, Sabah. Your words resonate deeply and provide so much strength and power. Thank you for sharing your journey so openly. 💛❤️💚✨
Lots of love, duas and hugs. More power to you and your pen ❤️🤗🤗✨️❤️
