New Year, New Priorities
This Year, I'm Done Protecting Others
When I reflect on my life and look at the underlying patterns of many of my problems, one recurring theme stands out. My issues often arose when I thought staying quiet was the polite thing to do, instead of calling people out for their behavior. In the end, the consequences of their actions ended up affecting me, and I’ve reached a point where I’m no longer going to accept that.
I know this might be a bit controversial, but it’s the truth. I’m done thinking that holding back from calling out actions is somehow a form of kindness. So this year, I’m making a commitment to speak up, call out the nonsense, and stand up for myself—even if it creates a little "chaos" along the way.
