I’m drawn to people who become more unapologetically themselves as they grow older.
Their tastes get a little weirder, their boundaries become clearer, their laughter gets louder, and their need to impress strangers slowly fades away.
There’s something beautiful about watching someone step out of the endless audition of trying to prove themselves to the world and simply become comfortable being who they are.
Fake people dislike you when you're authentic.
Toxic people dislike you when you stick to your boundaries.
Takers dislike you when you say no.
Manipulators dislike you when you see through their tactics.
A person who is okay with being disliked is a very powerful person.
