YOUR LIGHT IS THE REASON THEY HATE YOU

YOUR LIGHT IS THE REASON THEY HATE YOU 

Some people will hate you for absolutely no reason.

Not because you’re rich.

Not because you drive a nice car.

Not because you wear expensive clothes.

Not because you sat and had a conversation with them.

Not because you are in their circle matter of fact, you’re not even close to their circle.

You don’t even think about them… but you keep them awake at night.

It’s not your money.

It’s not your looks.

It’s not your achievements.

It’s you.

It’s your presence.

It’s the way you walk into a room and shift the atmosphere without trying.

It’s the way you smile without asking for permission.

It’s the way you carry yourself like you know where you’re going, even if you’re still figuring it out.

They can’t explain it but you disturb their spirit.

Why?

Because you remind them of everything they wish they were but never had the courage to become.

Because your light exposes the shadows they’ve been hiding in.

Because when you stand tall, their slouch feels obvious.

They’ll tell lies about you.

They’ll pick apart your past.

They’ll celebrate your mistakes.

They’ll look for cracks in your armor.

Not because they know you… but because your light forces them to see their darkness.

Your happiness makes their bitterness taste stronger.

Your peace makes their chaos feel louder.

Your confidence makes their insecurity scream.

And here’s the truth: it’s not your fault.

You didn’t steal their joy they abandoned it.

You didn’t cause their pain they refused to heal it.

You didn’t make them bitter they chose to stay that way.

Your light is not the problem.

It’s their refusal to shine.

So stop wondering, “What did I do wrong?”

You breathed. That’s all.

You existed. That’s all.

And that alone was enough to make them feel threatened.

Understand this:

When your spirit burns bright, you will irritate the demons in people who live in darkness.

You will make the insecure feel naked.

You will make the bitter taste their own poison.

But that’s not your burden.

Your job is to keep shining.

Don’t dim yourself to make others comfortable in their shadows.

Don’t water yourself down so their smallness feels safe.

Don’t apologize for the gift you carry.

You were not put here to be liked by everyone.

You were put here to light up the world even if it blinds some people.

So, let them lose sleep over you.

Let them be restless in your glow.

Because either they will keep hating…

Or one day, they’ll finally admit…

It was never hate.

It was envy.

It was admiration trapped in fear.

It was a silent wish that they could be as free as you.

And when that day comes…You’ll still be shining.
