The world doesn’t chase what’s ordinary.
It only tries to contain what shines.

When you find yourself picked apart, ridiculed, or shut out,
remember — people don’t spend energy trying to bury something that isn’t alive.

You are alive.
Your light agitates the darkness.
Your voice rattles silence that was once comfortable.
Your resilience reminds the world of what it lost — integrity, hope, courage.

They call it arrogance when you finally love yourself.
They call it rebellion when you finally refuse harm.
They call it “too much” when you finally take up the space you were born to fill.

But the truth is simple:
Their obsession with you is confirmation that you carry something sacred.
You disrupt systems without lifting a sword — only by being fully yourself.

So keep shining.
Keep building.
Keep walking in that quiet, ancestral confidence that whispers,
“They tried to dim us before — and we became constellations.”

You are not here to please them.
You are here to light the way.
And no amount of envy, cruelty, or control can smother a soul that knows its own fire.

Spread the love
