Plead The Fifth

Time has taught me the beauty of letting people believe what they want.

You don’t always have to explain your choices, life decisions, or opinions.

There’s no need to set the record straight, to defend, to clarify –

For what? Stand firmly in your truth.

Not everything has to be shared or be made public knowledge.

It’s ok to bask in your privacy – What does it really mean to be seen?

Having access to someone’s life and true thoughts is a privilege.

There are 3 sides to every story, and not everyone will have access to mine.

People will always have their point of view on you – But what’s there to prove?

Someone else’s opinion does not define your character.

Live your life – Some things don’t deserve your explanation.

To Keep The Peace

You were taught to bite your tongue – you don’t want to offend.

To shutdown when things got heated – it’s best not to address the issue.

To ignore your own feelings – you’ll get over it eventually.

To do anything to keep the peace… but at your expense.

Look where that got you.

Undo the mindset that communication means conflict.

Do not self-sacrifice your own peace of mind for the sake of others.
