Pinky Promise

“Pinky Promise" is a personal series that explores resilience and self-love—central themes within Ceci’s practice. As humans, we are inevitably collateral damage of someone, somewhere, sometime. It is part of the human condition.
We cannot choose where we are born, who we are born to, and how we are raised. All those fundamental aspects of life are unfortunately outside of our control.
What makes a difference, however, is how we respond to life. Therefore, we must pledge a pinky promise to ourselves.
A Pinky Promise to:
Never let the damage stick.
Always get back up.
Be my own source of healing.
Know that I am right where I am supposed to be at this very moment. Even if it hurts. It is temporary.
Release what doesn’t serve me and create the life I want to have.
Imagine what’s next. And make it happen.
