Can we be honest?
How many times have you explained a decision you didn’t actually need to explain?
“I can’t make it because…”
“I just need to…”
“I hope that’s okay…”
I’ve done it too.
Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught that saying “no” wasn’t enough.
That we had to soften it.
Make it easier for everyone else to accept.
But here’s what I’ve learnt.
Every time I over-explain, I’m looking for permission.
And I don’t need it.
Neither do you.
One of the greatest gifts of getting older is realising you don’t have to justify every choice you make.
Protect your peace.
The people who matter will understand.
And the people who don’t…
Were never looking for an explanation anyway.
