I know not everyone likes me—maybe it’s because of how I talk, how I act, or how I carry myself. And honestly, that’s okay.
I’ve learned that I can’t please everyone, and trying to would only mean losing a part of who I am. I’d rather be disliked for being real than be loved for wearing a mask. Pretending to be someone I’m not just to gain approval feels like betraying myself, and that’s a price I’m not willing to pay.
It’s not always easy, though. There are moments when I feel the weight of judgment, like a silent push telling me to conform. But then I remind myself—I deserve to exist as I am, flaws and all.
The people who truly matter will accept me without conditions, and those who don’t? They were never meant to stay. I’d rather walk my path authentically, no matter how lonely it gets, than live a life built on pretense.
