I get a lot of peace of mind from actively choosing to stop explaining myself unnecessarily to random people.

I wasted so much mental and emotional energy stressing myself out and getting sealioned when I& #39;m literally grown as hell and have nothing to say to random ass people idk

Whether it be self-care, enforcing my boundaries or protecting my own health, I will not be letting y& #39;all sucker me into stepping outside myself to explain anything just bc someone who isn& #39;t feeding, fucking or financing me, demands it.

Just because you want me to give me my life story so you can determine whether or not it& #39;s a fitting justification is a you issue.

Take it to your altar ya deity(ies)y or ya mama.

So as a friend, I& #39;m reminding y& #39;all that it& #39;s okay to choose you and your peace of mind.

I know why we marginalized groups feel the need to explain ourselves and justify our existences to people but not everyone is genuinely trying to understand.

You don& #39;t exist to be an example or an educator if that is not something you& #39;re getting paid for. If you don& #39;t have the capacity, it& #39;s absolutely okay to enforce your boundaries.
