There was a time when I felt the need to explain myself. My choices, growth and silence. I wanted to be understood so badly that I overextended my voice-trying to make people see what they were never meant to see from my perspective. But healing has taught me something sacred: what’s UNDERSTOOD DOESN’T NEED TO BE SAID. When you grow, your life becomes the explanation. When you heal, your peace speaks louder than your words. When you align with who you’re becoming, clarification becomes unnecessary.
Not everyone deserves an explanation. Not everyone is meant to understand your journey. Some people only know the version of you they had access to-and that’s okay. There is a quiet confidence that comes from no longer needing validation. From letting your boundaries speak. From trusting that the people who are meant to walk with you will feel the truth without you spelling it out. I’ve learned that silence isn’t weakness. It’s discernment. It’s maturity. It’s knowing that your energy is precious and your peace is not up for debate. Especially since God gives it to me.
What’s understood lives in the eyes, the pauses, the choices you make when no one is watching. It shows up in how you move differently. In how you respond-or don’t. In how you choose peace over proving a point. I no longer chase being understood by everyone. I trust that the right people😏will feel me. And the rest? They don’t need an explanation.
Because what’s real doesn’t announce itself. And WHAT’S UNDERSTOOD DOESN’T NEED TO BE SAID
