It’s not always easy to stay composed when dealing with those who’ve shown themselves to be cold or deceitful in past encounters. I remind myself that my purpose on this earth is singular: to share my gifts with those who are worthy and ready to receive them. To some, any display of emotion signals weakness. They mistake your choice to overlook past wrongs as naivety or vulnerability. But they’re wrong. This simply boils down to who you are and how you see yourself. In a world where bullies and oppressors demand you either fight on their terms or surrender to their ways, true strength lies in knowing when to walk away, when to strike back, and when to forge a new path entirely. Whether you turn the other cheek to preserve your peace, bite back to end a threat decisively, or unite with kindred spirits to build something greater, victory comes from staying true to your purpose. It’s not about becoming what you despise or bending to what you oppose; it’s about mastering the art of cheek, fang, and creation, carving your legacy with discernment and resolve.
