Don’t be afraid to lose people.
Be afraid of losing yourself by pleasing,
Everyone around you.

This shift,
Of losing ourselves,
Never happens quickly.
Sometimes, not even obviously.
But it happens consciously.

We choose.
Ignored moments.
Little moments,
“It’s no big deal moments.”
Moments suppressed.
Moments,
Made excuses for.
Over time,
Turned into passive behavior.
Passive excuses.
We become,
We mold,
Into someone else.
To please, someone else.

Don’t be afraid of losing people.
It can be scary to lose people,
I know.
Been there.

But the moment you realize,
That you have lost yourself instead,
Fuck.
That moment is gut wrenching.

The betrayal of self,
Is more painful.
Passivity, never aligns you with your true self.

I’m going to challenge you.
What are you being passive about?
Yup. That first thought you had.
Do something about it.
You deserve it.
