Why You Shouldn’t Hold Back
There will be people in your life that will attempt to dim your light down. They will secretly blow out your light with passing comments, actions, and unreasonable expectations. You’ll ignore them, shrug it off as some type of joke, and move on.
Until one day, you wake up in the mirror and not realize who the hell you are. How you got to the place that you’re in. Instead of realizing the situation and getting out, there is hope that it can only become better. Which, let’s be honest, people who tear others down for their own self will never improve.
They will only get worse.
They are addicted to control, because they lack control in their own life.
They are addicted to their outward appearance, even when they take poor care of themselves.
They expect you to have your life together, even when theirs is crumbling around them.
Their insecurities and pain are placed onto you because they can’t control it.
And that, right there, is when it’s time to let go.
That’s when you know it’s time to be set free from the invisible chains keeping you in a situation that does not serve you.
Do not hold back anymore.
