Some People Like You Broken:

Some people like you better broken.

Not because they’re evil or heartless…But because your light makes them squint.

Your healing makes them uncomfortable.And your growth?

It holds up a mirror to everything they’re not ready to face.

It’s a hard truth.But one you eventually run face-first into on this journey of becoming.

You start doing the work—The real, messy, soul-shifting work.You set boundaries.

You choose peace over chaos.You become intentional about who gets access to you.And suddenly…People start acting different.

Not strangers.Not internet trolls.But the ones sitting next to you at dinner.The ones under the same roof.The ones who once said, “I just want you to be happy.”

Turns out, they meant as long as your “happy” still made them comfortable.

Because when you were broken, you were predictable.

You needed them.You kept the peace.You dimmed your light.

You played small to stay included.

But now?You walk different.Talk different.Dream different.

You’re not seeking approval anymore.You’re seeking alignment.

And not everyone claps when you finally find it.

Some people only loved the version of you that tolerated being treated less than.The version that didn’t know their worth.The one who apologized for taking up space.

So when you rise—When you stop explaining yourself,Stop justifying your joy,Stop handing over your power wrapped in people-pleasing ribbon—They don’t know what to do with you anymore.

And you?You start to wonder, Did I do something wrong?

No, love.You just healed.

You became what they were never brave enough to become.And instead of being inspired,They became resentful.

It's Okay.

Because this journey?This rising?It’s not about dragging people with you who only loved you at your lowest.It’s about continuing to walk toward wholeness even when it’s lonely.Even when the room gets quieter.Even when it hurts.

Because some people like you better broken.But you?You weren’t made to stay in pieces.
