Iâve learned that not everyone is meant to understand my journey. Some people will resist my change, some will prefer I stay the same. But choosing myself will always matter more than keeping them comfortable.
Because I wasnât born to fit inside their idea of who I should be. I wasnât meant to stay quiet just to keep the peace or to shrink myself just so others can feel comfortable. Growth will always disappoint those who benefit from your silence but thatâs a price worth paying. May I have the strength to outgrow the places that no longer feel like home. To step away from people who only love me when Iâm easy to control. To choose my own voice, even when it shakes. I donât owe anyone the version of me that doesnât dream, that doesnât rise, that doesnât dare to be more.
Itâs not selfish to choose yourself. Itâs not wrong to walk a path others donât understand. The right people will never feel threatened by your light and they will celebrate it. And those who donât? They were never meant to hold you forever. So may I keep becoming, even if it means losing the ones who canât see my worth anymore. May I find the courage to disappoint the wrong people, so I can finally make myself proud. And may I keep growing, even if it means standing alone for a while.
I'm glad that I choose my own peace over someone else's approval. Because anyone who truly loves me will never ask me to stay small. âš
