You can no longer afford to wait on someone’s support, approval, or acknowledgment to evolve into this next version of you. Your mental health can’t afford it. Your purpose can’t afford it. Your consistency can’t afford it. No more trying to explain or get people to understand. It’s paralyzing you, & it’s not fair to all the work you’re putting in.
They’re simply going to have to watch.
It’s tough because needing support and validation doesn't mean you're weak.
It means you're human.
But, also know that you can evolve, and some people will still be determined to misunderstand you. Some are in your corner rooting you on (hang on to those people). But, others will always hang on to the version of you that they're familiar with. That has nothing to do with you. Some just simply don’t have the capacity right now to give what you need & survive themselves. So, you have to keep moving forward.
This isn't about cutting people off or proving your haters wrong. It’s not personal. This is simply about obedience to God and keeping the promise to yourself by doing exactly what you're called to do & evolving into the beautiful, healed, purpose-filled person you already are & continue to become.
So, grieve the loneliness if you need to. Regroup & get support where you can. Then, get back up & KEEP GOING.
