You’re not flaky; you’re finally listening to yourself

Nobody can hurt me without my permission

You say yes … and then something shifts.

You feel it in your chest. A tightness. A quiet knowing. This isn’t what you want. This isn’t right for you anymore.

But canceling feels selfish.

Backing out feels wrong.

So you push through. You override the nudge. You silence the voice that says: This isn’t it.

You keep showing up for things you no longer align with.

And when you finally stop?

When you finally say, I can’t, or I’ve changed my mind, or I need something different …

You worry you’re being flaky.

Inconsistent. Difficult. Unreliable.

But here’s the truth:

You’re not flaky.
You’re finally listening to yourself.

There’s a difference between indecision and inner alignment.

You’re not changing your mind because you’re lost.

You’re changing because you’re listening.

Because something in your body knows what your mind hasn’t caught up to yet.

Because the version of you that said yes is not the same one who’s here now.

This isn’t immaturity.

It’s self-trust.

It’s pausing long enough to hear the truth beneath the old impulse to please.

It’s realizing that following through on a misaligned “yes” costs more than the discomfort of a thoughtful “no.”

You don’t need to apologise for evolving.

You don’t need to justify a change in direction.

You don’t need to keep proving your worth through self-sacrifice.

Let your alignment matter more than your image.

Let your truth matter more than your pattern.

You’re not flaky.

You’re just honest.

Finally.
