You spent too much time worrying about what everyone else thought… if they liked you, if you were too much, if they’d walk away.
But the real loss wasn’t their opinion. It was the way you started to see yourself. That’s what passive living does. It teaches you to stay small, stay quiet, stay agreeable. It feels safe… until you realize you’ve been disappearing.
Until you realize you’ve been letting you down. Assertive living?
It’s not about being loud (it’s about being true). It’s about saying what you mean, showing up fully, and making choices based on who you are, not who you’re trying to please.
Passive living keeps the peace with everyone but you.
Assertive living? That’s how you finally make peace with yourself.
