Actually, I don't care anymore. If I'm liked, disliked, trusted, doubted, ignored, or talked about. It's quieter now, but for the first time, I feel peaceful. I stopped checking my phone every few minutes. I stopped waiting for validation from people who never truly saw my worth. I stopped showing up for people who only noticed me when it was convenient for them. I learned that not reacting is also a kind of healing, that walking away is not weakness, and silence is not losing. My heart feels softer with myself now. I'm more patient with my own healing. I protect my energy instead of explaining myself. And maybe this is what peace really looks like.
