Anything you lose by speaking your truth isn’t a loss. But it's an alignment that you needed.
When you choose honesty, you might see some people walk away, but that does not mean you failed or that you lost something important. It simply means those people or things were never meant to stay with the version of you that is real and true. They were only there for the mask, not for the soul behind it. Your truth has a way of clearing the path. It removes what doesn’t belong to you and makes space for what does. The moment you decide to stop pleasing everyone and start living by what feels right to you, you begin to attract people, opportunities, love that are in tune with your real self.
Sometimes, alignment feels like loss at first, because we are used to holding on. But later, you realize it was protection. You weren’t rejected, you were redirected. Life was simply removing the weight that was never yours to carry. The people who are meant for you will not be scared of your honesty. They will not run from your truth. Instead, they will feel safe in it, because your openness will give them permission to be real too. Those who leave were never ready for the kind of authenticity your soul carries.
So never fear what leaves when you speak your truth. Fear instead the silence of betraying yourself just to be accepted. What truly belongs to you will never be lost by your honesty, it will only come closer.🥀
