The art of being misunderstood. #advice #quotes #quotestory #poetry #storytelling #community

I think the hardest thing I've had to learn is not everyone will understand you and that has to be okay. It's not a negative to let them misunderstand. If you speak, you're too much, if you're quiet, you're distant, if you set boundaries, you're selfish, if you don't, you're a pushover, if you succeed, you've changed, if you struggle, you're not doing enough. So in a world where you'll always be judged, it's not a negative to let them misunderstand. Do what you love, follow what makes you happy, dream the impossible because it is a privilege. Pursuing aspirations is not a guarantee, but rather a fortunate opportunity. You'll always have people telling you that it's not the right time, the right person, the right pace that you're not ready for something, but let them let them misunderstand. Find solitude and peace in being misunderstood, no one knows your situation better than you. So do it, do it proudly, do it in silence, do it with bravery and do it knowing that it's not a negative to let them misunderstand.
