There will always be voices.
Some will question your choices.
Others will criticize your timing.
A few will wonder who you think you are.
Let them.
People will judge what they don’t understand, fear what feels unfamiliar, and dismiss what doesn’t fit their story of success.
But here’s the thing:
You weren’t made to live someone else’s narrative.
You’re on your path. And your path won’t always look “normal.”
It might be slower. Or bolder. Or quieter. Or messier.
And that’s okay. Because it’s yours.
When the noise gets loud, come back to your why.
When doubt creeps in, come back to your values.
When the world says “prove it,” let your consistency speak.
You don’t owe the world perfection.
But you do owe yourself truth.
So walk your path.
Even if they don’t get it.
Especially if they don’t get it.
Because the ones who matter? They’ll meet you there.
