You don’t need something to fall apart to know it isn’t right.
There’s a quiet exhaustion that comes from living a life that still “works”… but no longer feels true. This is what it costs to stop keeping the peace with something that’s already over.
We’ve been trained to wait for our eyes to confirm what our bones already know.
We treat the sudden chill in a room like a glitch instead of a warning—convinced that if we can’t explain it, it isn’t real.
So we stay.
We stand in situations already hollow, ignoring the way the air shifts, the way something in us goes quiet. We wait for a “sign” that looks like proof, while the truth has already settled in the body.
The cycle is exhausting: you feel it, question it, wait for evidence—
and by the time it arrives, you’re standing in the wreckage of something you knew from the beginning.
Intuition isn’t something you validate.
It’s something you feel before you understand.
I was maybe six or eight years old when my father told me something that would become the cornerstone of the woman I am today.
He’s absent now, and the pedestals I once built for him have long since crumbled—but the truth doesn’t care who the messenger is.
He told me:
“You don’t always have to explain yourself. If you’re right—even if the whole world is against you—if you know you’re right, you stand in that.”
At eight, I felt the power of those words before I had the life experience to use them.
Now, wearing the shoes of the Empress, I realize he wasn’t just giving me advice—he was handing me my first lesson in sovereignty.
My truth is not a negotiation.
And I no longer exhaust myself trying to make it digestible for people who have already decided how they see me.
There is a quiet, almost violent power in letting someone be wrong about you—and not correcting them.
