Sometimes I don’t feel like smiling big for the camera.
Sometimes I just feel thoughtful… observant… a little quiet.
Being a teacher means I’m always “on.” Explaining, guiding, encouraging. But there are moments when I pause and just reflect. Those are important too. They help me grow, reset, and come back stronger.
I love dancing. I love working out. I love feeling powerful in my body.
But I also love these calm versions of me — the ones that are still, aware, and just present.
Strength isn’t always loud.
Confidence doesn’t always shout.
Sometimes it simply looks like knowing who you are.
And I’m learning to embrace every version of myself 🤍
