You don’t have to rush. You don’t need to perform. You just need to decide that surviving is no longer the full story. This is your nudge. Your moment. Your spell. Let it abound.

There’s a particular ache that comes with being misunderstood. A quiet frustration when your tears are labelled as dramatic, your enthusiasm as “a bit much,” your sensitivity as a flaw to be ironed out. But here’s the truth I want to offer you today, something soft and radical to hold in your palms like a prayer: You are not too much. You are too full.

Strength doesn’t always come from being clever or correct. Sometimes it comes from being kind. Here’s how to build a softer, steadier kind of power.

You don’t have to rush. You don’t need to perform. You just need to decide that surviving is no longer the full story. This is your nudge. Your moment. Your spell. Let it abound.

Preserving your peace doesn’t mean floating through life like a lavender-scented cloud. It means choosing your energy over every petty distraction that wants to rent space in your head. And trust me, I’m not naturally peaceful. I’m opinionated, occasionally dramatic, and blessed with a brain that loves a black-and-white spiral. But I’m learning. Softness doesn’t mean weakness. And peace? It’s become my favourite quiet rebellion.
