Everything comes down to UNDERSTANDING.

Many of us spend our lives changing who we are and neglecting ourselves in order to appear appealing. When you share something – from your mind or your heart – people will either gravitate towards you or they’ll shift further away. Whichever way they decide to go, let them. Speak your mind. Speak your heart. Self awareness will assist you in recognising when it’s the appropriate time to do so – so make sure you’re aware of who you are and if the environment is right or not. Stop trying to change people. Stop trying to force people to see things they don’t want to see. If people are misunderstanding you, as exhausting as it feels (trust me I can relate), you need to ask yourself why you need them to understand you. You’re not meant to be everyones cup of tea.

People need to want to understand you. It’s like when people say “Astrology isn’t real”… that’s fine, it might not be real to them because they haven’t taken a second to explore how accurate it is or try to understand it. People can choose to stay ignorant if they want. It’s not my job – or yours – to educate anyone who’s dedicated to their closed-minded beliefs. The same applies for how people view and feel about you. If people don’t want to understand you, let them be. Be ok with people’s perceptions, even if they’re wrong. You know yourself better than anyone – so as long as you understand you, that’s all that matters. Obviously don’t be out here mistreating people or hurting anyone, because karma is a b!tch and you’re eventually gonna get what you give.

If you know deep down you’re doing the right thing and made right for your wrongs, any negative perceptions people have are what they’re choosing to hold onto (usually this is because of their own insecurities and really just making themselves feel better by projecting bs onto you).

You won’t need to over-explain anything to the people who truly understand you or want to understand you. People who care about you will feel you. As for those who don’t or won’t, accept that they probably aren’t meant to be a part of your life (at least not now; maybe not ever). The same way Astrology “isn’t real” to some – isn’t because it’s not; it’s because people are ignorant to explore & understand it. The same way the people who judge, criticise & don’t want to understand you – it’s not because they’re “bad” people, they just choose to be ignorant. It is what it is. Be at peace with it.
