This new chapter of my life is about prioritizing me. For too long, I’ve poured kindness and help into others, only to see some use those opportunities to throw others under the bus or scapegoat minority groups. I’m done with that.

I’ve been grieving the fact that kindness isn’t as common as I once believed. This year has shown me—through events like the Olympics, the hate targeting minorities, and the current political climate—that empathy, compassion are often missing. I’ve cried this year, mourning this lack of humanity.
I still believe that the world would be so much better if we chose kindness and compassion.But the truth is, the altruistic kindness I’ve lived by is taking a toll on me.Anxiety and stress have reached an all-time high because I’ve been swallowing my feelings and my anger,all in the name of kindness
So, I’ve made a decision: I won’t accept people in my life who sacrifice their humanity for convenience or personal gain. If this makes some people mad, so be it. Staying true to my convictions and values matters more than pleasing anyone.
You don’t get to take advantage of what we contribute while tearing us down. If being unapologetically authentic makes me a “demon” in your eyes—condemned by your double standards and cherry-picked “divine rules”—then so be it. I choose integrity over fitting into someone else’s narrative.
This shift is painful, and I know it might make me seem less kind, but it’s necessary for my healing. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Maybe that means I’ll be a worse person in some people’s eyes, but I’ll be a person who survives.

I do hear and feel what you are saying. 2024 I am happy to see go away. I hope for you 2025 a good one for you. I will never stop treating others with kindness and respect but will not extend a hand to those who stand against me and those I love. 💙
