You ever notice how people will give advice like it’s the key to life, but when you ask them if they’d follow it in your shoes, they get quiet real quick? It’s like they’ve got all the answers until the spotlight’s on them and it’s giving ‘Do as I say, not as I do.’ And, honestly, I’ve been there too. I'm no better. I’ve had those moments where I’ve given advice I wouldn’t even take myself. But self-reflection teaches you a lot about how and why you give advice and why sometimes, we need to check ourselves.

Who I Am Is Not Up for Debate You spend so much time just living your life, doing your thing, only for people to project their insecurities, assumptions, and straight-up wrong ideas onto you. And somehow, they turn their misunderstanding of you into your problem. If you’ve ever felt like people only see their own issues when they look at you—girl, same. People love to project (and loudly). People will look at you and see whatever makes sense for their story. It’s wild how much they’ll try to convince you that their perception of you is the truth. But the thing is... none of that noise is your responsibility.
