I killed my sense of entitlement a very long time ago. Nobody owes me anything. I wish for the best and still expect the worse from anyone; and nobody is coming to save me but me.
The older I get, the more I realize peace has a price. You buy it by saying no. No to drama. No to noise. No to people who drain you. No to shiny objects. No to temptation. No to opportunities that arenโt aligned. Every single no creates space for the yes that truly matters.
