June Affirmations 2025

“Maybe it doesn’t matter how we’re made, in the end; it matters only who we are.” -Gregory Maguire

Okay, Wicked obsession aside - this line highlighted on the page of Elphie: A Wicked Childhood like the Sun was shining on it. This feels like all I’ve been trying to convey to myself for years: that it’s not the makings of Me, per se, it is the choices I choose with my conscious awareness.

I used to tie myself, mercilessly, to my unconscious actions. All that I did and said from a place of not knowing and a place of desperate trying; trying to stand out with hopes of fitting in, trying to keep what was never mine, trying to be who I never could. Not to mention, the intense identification with what’s happened in times when it wasn’t my responsibility to curate the environment. There’s so much we can learn from our pasts, but there comes a point when we are best informed by our presence in the silent.

I am not unconscious, not at the whim of who I was or who my people were, their actions, their teaching, even. I am here, being reminded by my senses that I am free to choose who I am.

Here are some affirmations to usher in this energy.

I choose who I want to be.

I am intentional with my actions and energy.

I am present and aware.

I am grateful for who I’ve intentionally become.

I am my truest self in every space.

I bring my best and inspire others to bring theirs.

I Love who I am.

Cheers to choice, to allowing ourselves liberation. Shoutout to the Black, the Queer, and the Black&Queer. Purr. Happy June!
