✨Let’s Be Real! Sometimes we give our power away without even realizing it.
~We hand our sense of control to other people when we expect them to treat us the way we would treat them.
✨ truth is—no one is required to respect us, understand or validate us. And that’s a hard reality, especially for those of us who grew up in environments where disrespect was the norm.
✨Trauma makes you hyper-aware. It teaches you to constantly scan for danger, rejection, or disrespect because your nervous system learned that was the only way to survive. So when you finally start healing—when you finally find your voice—you might catch yourself searching for approval, explanations, apologies, or closure from everyone around you. You’re learning boundaries, so your guard feels like it has to stay up. You’re tired of being mistreated, so every small thing feels personal.
✨Not everything deserves that level of emotional investment. to apologize…
to admit they messed up…
to validate your anger…
~that’s when your peace leaves your hands and enters theirs.
:when your mood shifts, accidents happen, and your karmic path gets tangled in someone else’s chaos.
✨You do not need their apology to reclaim your peace.
✨You do not need their validation to feel grounded.
✨You do not need external approval to know your worth.
~ Sometimes we hand our power to others by expecting their respect or apologies. The truth? Not everything is personal. We don’t have to let a stranger’s mistake ruin our day. We reclaim our peace by realizing their actions are about them—not us. Your power lies in choosing not to seek their validation. It’s okay to just let it go and keep your peace.
✨You turn back inward.
✨You self-validate
✨You choose your peace over the pull to react.
✨You decide that your emotional stability isn’t up for negotiation.
That is healing.
That is growth.
That is reclaiming your power.
