You are allowed to ignore every voice, every post, every pressure that tries to convince you to center the comfort of people who have never once centered your safety.
You are not heartless for saying no more.
You are not cruel for protecting your peace.
You are not “bitter” or “cold” for refusing to carry the weight of people who watched you suffer—and did nothing.
You are not here to be endlessly understanding of people who are willfully misunderstanding you.
You are allowed to walk away from conversations that ask you to consider the feelings of those who never considered what it cost you to survive.
You are allowed to stop explaining your pain to people who treat it like drama.
You are allowed to say:
“I am not available to be exploited.”
“I am not available to be drained.”
“I am not available to be harmed again.”
You are allowed to prioritize your healing.
You are allowed to prioritize your joy.
You are allowed to live a life where you are not constantly managing other people’s guilt.
This is not selfish. This is sacred.
Your boundaries are not barriers—they are blessings.
Your silence is not weakness—it is wisdom.
Your refusal is not hate—it is holy.
Let today be the day you reclaim your time, your energy, your voice.
You don’t need permission to protect yourself.
You already have divine approval.
With love,
