and as time goes by, you begin to see that not everyone will understand you the way you want them to. some people will see you the wrong way, take your words differently, or believe things about you that aren't true. at first, you might want to fix it, to explain yourself again and again, just to make them see your real side. but after some time, you realize it's not worth it. you can't change how people think or what they choose to believe. no matter how honest or kind you are, some will still misunderstand you. so instead of trying to please everyone, you start to let go. you stop explaining yourself to those who don't listen, and you learn to keep your peace. you begin to accept that not everyone will get you, and that's perfectly okay.
