A common theme online today is the pressure to conform — the idea that we must all share the same beliefs, with differing opinions always met with others' views pushed as gospel. My ideal love does not have to be yours. Each of us is entitled to our own dreams of romance. I am free to seek out my own desires, and you are free to find the kind of relationship dynamic you deem perfect in your eyes. 

Instead of seeking external validation, I found it within. I sat with my thoughts, devoting time to deep introspection and mastering self-concept clarity. The strongest people are deeply sensitive — courageous enough to feel fully, accept their emotions, and move through them consciously. To heal, to move on, is to let every feeling exist fully and then letting them go. 

I refuse to become the person someone has attempted to paint me out as. So yes, I stay silent. I won’t broadcast our disagreement to the world, and I won’t let a moment of hurt turn me into someone I am not.
