@beashamaine: I won’t pretend I’ve always been different. I used to be that person too, and I won’t deny it. But I’ve changed. These days, I find more peace in spending time alone, with the people I genuinely trust, or with family, than forcing connections with people I don’t truly respect or feel comfortable around. I’d rather invest my time in improving myself, building a better life, and protecting my peace. I’m proud to say I’m not the same person I was before. One thing I’ve learned is that people who are constantly talking about others rarely find time to work on themselves. The more fulfilled I become, the less interested I am in gossip and negativity. Growth leaves little room for it. #fyp
