There comes a point where you realise
you’re not part of the world in the way you used to be.
You’re not invited.
You’re not forgiven.
You’re not remembered for what was good.
You’re only recalled for the moment you broke.
You feel it everywhere.
In silence.
In glances.
In the way people ask questions that sound more like accusations.
In the doors that stay shut long after you’ve knocked.
And in those moments
you have a choice.
Sit down.
Or keep walking.
I Know What It Feels Like to Be Unwanted
It’s not theoretical.
It’s not metaphor.
It’s lived.
Being left out of rooms.
Unfollowed.
Unbooked.
Unmentioned.
Knowing people still talk about you
but not to you.
Knowing your name stings in conversation.
Knowing your story is passed around
with edits you never wrote.
And maybe
deep down
you wonder if you earned it.
Or maybe you know you did.
Still
you walk.
You Don’t Need Their Welcome to Keep Going
I stopped waiting for the comeback moment.
I stopped waiting for the invitation.
I stopped holding my breath for validation
that was never going to come.
The only thing that saved me
was movement.
Momentum.
Not chasing.
Just choosing not to rot where they left me.
You can’t wait to be seen to heal.
You can’t wait to be liked to grow.
You can’t wait for applause to change.
You have to walk even when every step feels invisible.
The Path Isn’t About Arrival. It’s About Integrity.
I don’t know where this leads.
Maybe nowhere public.
Maybe nowhere that trends.
But I know this.
I’d rather walk alone
with my head down
and my heart clear
than perform for people who would never give me peace
no matter how well I played the part.
So I walk.
Quietly.
Deliberately.
Honestly.
Not because I’m trying to be seen again.
But because I won’t let the world that once turned on me
define whether I get to live.
Final Thought
If the world doesn’t want you
let it go.
Let the parties pass.
Let the circles close.
Let the whispers fade.
And keep walking.
Because your life
your growth
your change
your healing
your story
doesn’t require their permission.
Just your presence.
