What I’m Willing to Lose to Stay Myself

I’ve lost access.

Opportunities.

Connections.

Versions of people who preferred me quieter.

And I would lose them all again.

I am willing to lose approval to keep my integrity.

I am willing to lose comfort to keep my self-respect.

I am willing to disappoint people to avoid disappointing myself.

Nothing I’ve lost compares to what I gained when I stopped betraying myself.
