I don't know who needs to hear this but;
Create that content.
Post that content.
Don't worry about making it perfect.
What matters is your message and the value that your content gives to others. Not aesthetics.
You are absolutely deserving of healthy relationships. And there’s nothing wrong with you if you’re finding it challenging to leave an unhealthy relationship. Be kind to yourself. You are doing the best that you can with the capacity that you have right now.
