- You don’t have to be the sun for people who don’t appreciate your light. Some people will take your warmth for granted, expecting you to shine endlessly while giving nothing in return. You pour your energy into them, trying to brighten their world, only to realize they never truly valued your presence. But you are not meant to exhaust yourself for those who refuse to see your worth. You deserve to shine for people who cherish your light, not those who stand in your glow without appreciation.
- It’s okay to step back from those who only take and never give. You don’t have to keep setting yourself on fire to keep others warm. Real connections are built on mutual respect and appreciation, not one-sided effort. Save your light for those who see its beauty, for those who reflect it back, and for those who make you feel just as bright in return. You are not here to burn yourself out—you are here to shine in the right places.
