Less, on purpose
If you’re not respected, show up less. If you’re not heard, speak less. If what you contribute is taken for granted, contribute less. If your time is treated as unlimited, limit it.
This isn’t retreat. It’s choice.
Adding more rarely fixes disregard. It usually hides it.
What’s scarce gets noticed. What’s constant fades into background noise.
You don’t clarify your value by insisting. You clarify it by deciding where it no longer belongs.
Less isn’t absence. It’s direction.
