Let me tell you something real—if someone calls you crazy, dismisses your concerns, or accuses you of arguing when all you’re doing is expressing yourself, hear me clearly: you don’t have to stay where you aren’t understood. You don’t have to quiet your voice for someone who refuses to listen. That’s not communication; that’s control.
People who truly care about you will make space for your thoughts, even when they don’t fully agree. They won’t twist your emotions into weapons or make you feel like you’re wrong for simply feeling. It’s not love if they make you doubt yourself every time you speak. It’s not respect if they make your boundaries sound like rebellion.
Stop holding yourself back to avoid being called ‘too much.’ Stop explaining yourself to people committed to misunderstanding you. Your peace is priceless, and your energy is sacred. So if someone tries to make you doubt your reality, label your passion as chaos, or dismiss your truth because it disrupts their comfort—leave them. Leave them exactly where they stand.
You’re not ‘crazy,’ you’re not a problem, and you’re not difficult. You’re just unwilling to compromise your authenticity for someone who refuses to grow. Let them stay in the nearest hell they created, and you? You walk boldly into the light of your worth.
