King of Pitori retweetledi
There are things I resolved long ago I would never fight for. A job is one of them.
I’ve never believed in forcing myself into spaces that require me to prove my right to exist. If I was trusted with the opportunity to contribute, I give my best. And when that season shifts, I leave with the same grace I arrived with.
I pay close attention to the “weather.” Not the obvious storms but the subtle changes. The tone. The energy. These signal that something has moved.That’s usually my cue.
Once the environment changes drastically, it’s not long before it begins to cost you mentally, physically and sometimes even spiritually. And those are prices I’m no longer willing to pay.
So I don’t wait for things to fall apart. I pen that resignation letter, ever so politely. I don’t do this out of weakness. I do it out of self-respect.
And yes, I am conflict-averse. I’ve made peace with that. It simply means I don’t thrive in spaces where I must constantly defend my worth or negotiate my dignity.
There are battles worth fighting. Not every room deserves a war.
PS. I am blessed with an ADHD brain. That on its own is a brutal ongoing war.
