The audience you seek approval from seek their own audiences for approval Even when you are whole, a few things and people will dare to break you
Comfort in insignificance is when you create without an audience
Knowing that you’ve seen your greatness before the world can validate it
Understanding that you are excellent, and exceptional, without demanding to be accepted
Choosing to be a perfect mess to yourself than unhappy perfection to the world
Comfort in insignificance feels like you’re moving and living in a crowd without needing it
Sometimes you will feel like giving into different definitions for recognition
You will feel like you have done, produced, expressed or intended nothing because you did not trend
But you need to ask yourself:
Was it ever about trending or creating? Was it ever about acknowledgement or expressing? Was it ever about what they know or what you can do? Was it ever about them or about you?
Significance will always shift in meaning depending on the context applied
And the irony is in how people define significance yet still impose these tenuous self-defined meanings onto you
Never let perception measure your self-worth
And do not let the fear of irrelevance stunt your bold untapped potential and talent
Move swiftly with the tide that stirs and rises within you
Until one day,
The world dares to keep their gaze from you
