Life gets lighter when you stop explaining yourself.

How much energy have you spent justifying your choices? Why you said no. Why you left. Why you rest. Why you live the way you do.

Some people will understand you with one sentence. Others won't understand even after a hundred. The difference was never your explanation.

You're allowed to make decisions that make sense to you without writing a report for everyone else. A simple "this is what's right for me" is enough.

Put down the long speeches. Watch how light you feel.
