I always thought I was the problem. That is was me who simply couldn´t be around lots of people anymore. Me who rather wanted to be alone then surrounded by people. I would feel so vacuous after certain social events. Like my energy was sucked out of my body. A deflated balloon where my soul used to sit. ✨ Whenever I was spending time with my friends though, beautiful humans that turned my love into gold, I would feel warm. Energetic. Rejuvenated. I`m slowly learning to understand. To listen to myself. Reversing my view and looking deep within the corners of your soul. How do certain people make you feel? If the answer is anything less than good, you are not obligated to be around them. I will repeat: you are NOT compelled to spend your time with people who take your happiness away. Who dismiss your values. ✨ I want you to know something. Feeling extremely emotionally drained after a social situation isn’t normal. It is simply a sign of being surrounded by the wrong people. The wrong energy. ✨ Surround yourself with people who make your soul blossom. Who plant seeds in the never-ending garden of your heart. Find your own tribe. Let go of your imaginary social obligations. Be it a friend or a family member. Don´t ever forget: ❈ You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your being. ❈ You don’t owe anyone an apology for withdrawing yourself. ❈ You don’t owe anyone a yes to everything they say. ❈ You don't owe anyone at all. Be true to yourself. Do whatever feels good. Be free. Let go 💫 #buildyourowntribe (hier: Planet Earth)
