As many are still battling their own darkness
Not everyone will want to see you shine
As many still remain suppressed in the shadows
Not everyone will be appreciative of your wisdom
As many would rather remain ignorant or do not resonate with your message and way of seeing the world
Not everyone will be supportive of your growth and evolution
Because they would rather remain stagnant and not make progress
Not everyone will applaud your success
Because they either envy you or are ignorant of it as they are more focused on themselves and their own lives
And not everyone will want to see you heal
Because they are still stuck in their own trauma
And preoccupied with their own problems
But it is not your job to fix them, change them, rescue them or heal them
But simply to love and accept them as they are
And support them in the process of healing themselves
And while not everyone will value or notice you
Not everyone will want you to share your voice
And not everyone will want you to take up space in the world
You should never dim or suppress your beauty and brilliance to fit in
You should never conceal and hide your gifts, strengths and talents
And you should never fear expressing yourself authentically
As you are a beautiful star capable of shining
And the world is in desperate need of your light.
