Stop.

Does responding actually change them? Or does it just give them the satisfaction of knowing they moved you?

Does your explanation help anything? Or does it just waste the energy you need for people who actually matter? 🤐

I've learned to let things land and then let them go. To feel without reacting. To be affected without showing all my cards.

It's not cold.

It's disciplined. 💙

In a world of people constantly performing their pain, their outrage, their hurt feelings on public display—there's power in the person who stays quiet. Who only speaks when it actually means something. Who doesn't treat every feeling like it deserves an audience.

That's the revolution nobody talks about: the revolution of not performing your emotions for people who don't deserve them. 🌿
