Sometimes letting everything slide feels easier, even when it tears you apart inside. You smile through insults, nod politely, while your self-respect quietly bleeds in the corner. You laugh at their jokes, even when the joke is you, just to keep the peace. You support them while they slowly break you, and call it love, loyalty, or understanding. You pretend you're fine while you're crumbling, just to be seen as the "good person." But one day, I took all those great teachings and shoved them right where they belong. I decided I'm not the stupid one anymore - not the one who keeps quiet. Yeah, it ruffled egos, broke some delusions, andmade a few fake people very uncomfortable. But honestly? Watching their masks slip was the most peaceful thing l've ever seen.
