@mr.alwaysgoodneverbad: I’m learning that not everyone will understand my heart, and not everyone is supposed to. For a long time, I thought peace came from being understood. In reality, peace came when I stopped needing validation from people who had already made up their minds. Not every misunderstanding needs a defense. Not every accusation needs a response. Sometimes growth looks like staying gentle when your ego wants to prove a point. What’s something you’ve had to stop explaining in order to protect your peace?
