You don’t have to abandon yourself to be a good person.
you were just taught that keeping the peace mattered more than keeping yourself.”
most people confuse kindness with self-betrayal.
they smile when they’re uncomfortable.
say yes when they mean no.
stay quiet to avoid tension.
that’s not kindness.
that’s survival.
real kindness doesn’t cost you your voice.
if this hit… you already know where you’ve been over-giving.
