What People Say About You Doesn’t Define You

In life, there will always be hundreds of people who have something to say about you — and not all of it will be kind. The truth is, you can’t control what others choose to think or speak. And you shouldn’t try to.

What you can control is how much space you allow those voices to take in your mind.

If someone is genuinely important to you, talk to them. Clarify things once. Maybe twice, if the situation repeats. But beyond that, stop chasing explanations. Constantly needing to justify yourself is not a sign of love or respect — it’s a sign of a weak relationship.

People who truly value you will not make you defend yourself over and over again.

Let your peace come from within, not from others opinion.
