Not Cold 🥶 Just Done Playing Small

You’re not harsh

You just remember how long you lied to yourself —

and you don’t want others to repeat it 🙃

It’s not that you don’t care.

You care so deeply that it used to hurt.

But when you’ve fought to unlearn self-sabotage,

stopped giving energy to your own excuses,

and held yourself through the fire of change —

you stop entertaining the same old stories 🔥

It’s Not Their Struggle That Triggers You

It’s the mirror it holds up.

That friend still stuck in the same loop?

The one choosing comfort over clarity?

You’re not annoyed at them.

You’re staring at an old version of yourself that you outgrew 🪞

And the truth is… you get it.

You’ve played small.

You’ve chosen easy.

You’ve sat in the “maybe it’ll change” phase for too long.

But once you’ve chosen differently —

once you’ve risen from the excuses —

your tolerance for self-imposed suffering drops fast 🚫🎭

You Can Be Compassionate —

But You Don’t Have to Pretend They’re Not Choosing It.

You see the pain.

You see the pattern.

And yeah — you also see the way out.

You don’t need them to be perfect.

But you won’t cosign the narrative that keeps them small.

You’re not cold.

You’re just done shrinking yourself to make stuck people feel more comfortable 😌
