Hey hey hey my beautiful humans! 👾

It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means… Quote Day! ✨ This is your midweek reminder that words do carry power, and sometimes the right ones hit just right at the right time.

Before we even jump into it, I just want to say, I might be feeling some type of way 🫢

“Letting people be wrong about you or a situation while keeping your peace and focus is the most misunderstood power move you will ever make.” — Morgan Richard Olivier ✨

I don’t know about you, but the older I get, the more I realize I don’t have the time, energy, or desire to explain myself to people who are committed to misunderstanding me. I used to feel the need to clarify, over-explain, or prove I had good intentions, but now? Now I let my authenticity speak for itself.

How many times have you felt the urge to defend yourself? To clear up someone’s version of a story that didn’t paint you in the right light? To explain your heart, your decisions, your silence — just to make sure they got it right?

Because fucking same.

But here’s what I’m learning, and let me be so real with you, this lesson didn’t come easy. The older I get, the more I realize how valuable my energy is. I’m not here to carry the weight of someone else’s projections or assumptions. I’m not here to water myself down so I can be easier to digest. And I’m definitely not here to keep proving myself to people who never really saw me to begin with.

These days?
I only want to be the most authentic, kind, and grounded version of myself.
And if that’s not enough for someone? That’s a them problem, not a me problem.

Because here’s the truth: I am who I surround myself with.
And I only want to be around people who see the good in others, who uplift, who stay in their lane and protect their own peace, not people who thrive off drama, assumptions, or low-vibration energy. Because positivity breeds positivity. And the opposite? It spreads like a disease. And I’m not interested in catching it.

Let’s be real for a second — people will talk. They’ll form opinions based on clips of your life they don’t even understand. A curated feed. A misunderstood silence. Something they “heard” or “saw”. They’ll act like they know you… when they’ve never even had lunch with you. And that’s fine. Let them talk.

Because someone who is truly fulfilled, grounded, and happy isn’t out here obsessing over someone else’s life, especially not one they’ve only experienced secondhand.

If someone’s investing that much energy into misunderstanding you? It’s giving projection. It’s giving insecurity. It’s giving “I have too much time on my hands and I should probably go touch grass.”

I’ve reached the point where I don’t need to defend myself to stay in alignment. I’m not lowering my frequency to match someone else’s confusion. I know who I am. And if you don’t? That’s your business — not my burden. And listen, I’ve got better things to do than worry about someone else’s projections. I’m personally better business when I’m minding my own. 🤷🏼‍♀️

So here’s your midweek reminder: Protect your peace. You don’t need to argue, explain, or shrink. Hold your head high, and walk in your truth — even if not everyone claps for it.

And an action for you this week: Journal about it! Or don’t! It’s up to you (I’m not here to force you, just give you resources) 😉

💭 Think of a time when someone misunderstood you or a situation you were in. How did you respond? Did it cost you your peace? What would it have felt like to just let it be?

💭 Where am I still trying to explain myself to be accepted, when I really just need to accept myself as I am?

This is your permission slip to let go of that pressure. You don’t need to carry it anymore.

You are enough. You are rooted. You are allowed to protect your peace, even if no one else understands it.

And that, my friends, is a power move. 💫

Trust your journey. Rest your souls, little saplings. Always leave people better than you found them, and have an incredible day and a grounded weekend ahead! 👽🫶🏻🧿🌱
