Stop doing it for them. And start doing it for you. Stop trying to be the person they love, And start being the kind of person that you love, and like. I stopped making art for other people’s entertainment, and I started making it for my own enjoyment. Stop doing the things you think they will like — rooted in the need for validation, inadequacy, and so on. & Start doing what is good for you.

It's that way for a reason. Your plate is full. You've got your work cut out for you. You don't have a drop of energy for bullsh*t. You don't have the time of day for toxicity. You have so many priorities, responsibilities, your work cut out for you — that you don't have a drop of energy to give to the things that are not serving you. Your plate is full of what matters. ⟡ This is a season where protecting, honing and directing your energy is imperative. The people who are meant to be a part of your life, will be a part of your ascension.

So stop giving it away—to people who aren't willing to replenish the well, through consistency, love, and reciprocation. Stop freely giving away a valuable resource that should be fiercely protected. This is the energy you need to shift into abundance.
