There comes a moment when you realise that the path you’re walking looks nothing like the paths of those around you. Your choices don’t fit the mold. Your thinking doesn’t follow the script. And while some people admire your courage, others tilt their heads in confusion.
And that’s okay.
Because the truth is, if everyone understands your life, you’re probably not living your truth you’re living theirs.
From an early age, we’re taught to seek approval. We learn to colourless inside the lines, follow the rules, and pursue the kind of success that others recognise. But what happens when the life that feels right to you looks strange to everyone else?
Maybe you walked away from a stable career to chase a passion no one believes in.
Maybe you chose solitude over relationships that no longer served your soul.
Maybe you prioritise experiences over material success, leaving people to wonder why you don’t “settle down.”
People will question. They will project their fears onto you. They might even try to pull you back into the familiar. But here’s something to remember: you don’t need their permission to live your life.
When you stop living for the approval of others, a new kind of freedom emerges the freedom to follow your inner compass, to build a life that feels right in your soul, even if no one else understands it.
The greatest visionaries, artists, and spiritual seekers all had one thing in common they walked paths others couldn’t see. They weren’t concerned with being understood; they were concerned with being true.
What if your life isn’t meant to be explainable? What if it’s meant to be felt, experienced, and honored in ways that words can’t capture?
Not everyone will understand your choices, and that’s a good thing. It means you’re creating something new. It means you’re not following a script you’re writing your own story.
So let them wonder. Let them question. Let them call your life unconventional, reckless, or strange.
And then… keep going anyway.
Because the life that makes the most sense to you is the only one you’re here to live.
