Daily Feral Affirmation: I’m Still Standing, So I’m Still Dangerous

Let’s get one thing straight before we pretend today is gonna be cute.

You woke up tired.

You’re already annoyed.

Your to-do list is disrespectful.

And someone — somewhere — is absolutely about to test you.

Good. 😈

That means you’re alive and operating at full feral capacity.

Today’s affirmation isn’t about being calm, graceful, or healed.

It’s about being real, relentless, and still showing up even when everything feels sideways.

Say it with your whole chest:

I do not need to be soft to be worthy.

I do not need to be quiet to be respected.

I do not need to shrink to make other people comfortable.

I am allowed to take up space.

I am allowed to change my mind.

I am allowed to be tired and unstoppable at the same damn time.

I can be feral and functioning.

Both can exist.

Both do exist.

Today, I choose progress over perfection.

I choose “done” over “pretty.”

I choose getting through the day instead of pretending I’m fine.

If all I manage today is:

– getting out of bed

– answering one email

– drinking my coffee before it goes cold

– not losing my shit on someone who deserves it

That still counts.

That still matters.

That is still forward motion.

I release the pressure to have it all figured out.

I release the guilt for resting.

I release the need to explain myself to people who wouldn’t understand anyway.

I am not behind.

I am not failing.

I am not “too much.”

I am becoming — loudly, messily, unapologetically.

And if today feels heavy?

That doesn’t mean I’m weak.

It means I’ve been carrying shit most people wouldn’t survive.

So here’s your reminder, in case you forgot:

You’ve survived worse than this.

You’ve rebuilt from less than this.

You’ve shown up on days you thought would break you.

You don’t need motivation.

You don’t need permission.

You don’t need validation.

You need boundaries, caffeine, and a little audacity.

Today, I move forward even if it’s sideways.

Today, I choose myself even if it pisses people off.

Today, I trust that the version of me I’m becoming knows exactly what she’s doing — even when I don’t.

I am feral.

I am capable.

I am not done yet.

Now take a breath.

Take a sip.

And go handle your shit — your way.
