Here’s your reminder that being liked is not the same as being respected.
You were not put here to shrink, soften, dilute, and decorate yourself into something easier for others to digest. You’re allowed to outgrow versions of you that kept the peace but cost you your power.
Say no without a paragraph. Set boundaries without guilt. Choose yourself without apology.
Some people will call it “too much.” Some will say you’ve “changed.”
Good.
Growth is supposed to feel disruptive. It rearranges rooms that were never designed for your expansion.
Be the plot twist. Be the standard. Be the version of you that doesn’t need approval to exist.
Unacceptable? Perfect.
