Not everyone will celebrate your light... Some will feel threatened by it... Not because you’ve done anything wrong… but because your strength exposes where they’ve settled. Your happiness reminds them of what they gave up on. Your peace unsettles their chaos... And instead of rising, they may try to pull you down...to clip your wings because they’re too afraid to fly.But hear this clearly... their reaction is not your reflection... It’s a mirror of their own unhealed pain... Don’t dim your light just to make others comfortable in the dark... Let them squint... Let them adjust... Or let them walk away...You didn’t come here to shrink...You came here to rise...Unapologetically...
