One of the greatest freedoms you'll ever give yourself is the courage to be disliked. Most people spend their lives trapped in the prison of other people's opinions. Truth is: no matter what you do, someone will disapprove. You could play small to keep others comfortable and still be criticised. You could start living a life true to yourself and still be misunderstood. The question is not "Will they like me?" but "Am I living in a way that I can like myself?" Because the moment you stop outsourcing your worth to others, is the moment you discover a rare kind of peace: the kind that comes from knowing you're finally living your life, not the version others wanted for you. Being disliked is a risk but being untrue to yourself guarantees regret.
