We Rise Together

I see you shining. And somehow, it helps me shine too.

Saw her post today. The publication I’ve chased for so long. The familiar knot of comparison tightened.

But instead of sitting in lack, I leaned into abundance. I texted:

“This is so well-deserved. I am truly happy for you.”

And as I typed, I meant it. Because her success doesn’t steal from my chapter. Her spotlight doesn’t cast me in shadow. So I share her posts. Say her name in rooms she’s not in. Celebrate her wins without hesitation.

We were taught there’s only so much to go around. But what if that was never true? What if every time we lift another woman up, we rise too?
