#tuesdaymusing People Will Be People—Stay True to Yourself One of the hardest truths to accept in life is that people will always be people. Some will be kind, some will be indifferent, and some will be outright malicious. No matter how much good you do, how much love you show, or how pure your intentions are, there will always be those who choose to misunderstand, envy, or even attempt to harm you. But here’s what you must never forget: their actions should never dictate your character. Their wickedness should never harden your heart. Their malice should never dim your light. The world will always have its fair share of deceit, betrayal, and cruelty, but you don’t have to become part of that cycle. It’s easy to be tempted to change—to give coldness in return for coldness, to build walls where once you had open arms. But the real strength lies in remaining yourself, in holding on to your goodness even in the face of badness. Protect your soul. Guard your heart, but don’t let it turn to stone. At the end of the day, your peace comes from knowing that you stayed true. That you did not allow bitterness to take root in you. That you remained who you are despite what the world threw at you. Because in a world where people will be people, the greatest victory is being you—unshaken, undimmed, and undefeated. -AY Nigeria 🇳🇬 https://aynigeria.com
