Instead of acting out of impulse, anger, and hurt, take a minute, breath and remind yourself: "Sometimes things fall apart, so that better things can fall together" - Marilyn Monroe,"Karma never misses a soul", "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes" - Winston Chruchill

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.

There's an epidemic of insecure people in this world who spend their days trying to dim your light to feel a flicker of their own. Low self-esteem, insecurity, and projection is almost always the reason why anyone ever feels the need to put another person down. Someone who is truly content within themselves has no need to belittle others to feel worthy as their joy doesn’t depend on comparison.

It's easy to radiate good energy when life is gentle; the real test comes when it isn't. Once you master control over your emotions, you reclaim your power. Choose grace over impulse, kindness over chaos. The goal isn’t to suppress your emotions, but to respond with intention rather than reaction. Be so grounded in your self-control that others are left in awe of your calm.
