Fitting In

You are too much.

You are not enough.

You’re too sensitive.

You’re too this and you are too that.

You don’t fit in. And that’s the point.

From the beginning people have tried to name you, to place you inside a role, a label to make you more palatable, predictable, profitable.

Fitting in is about survival and it often means shrinking yourself. But you are not here to survive and you can’t unsee what you’ve seen.

Try to be a filter, not a sponge. – Rumi

There is an old archetype that lives in nearly every ancient story:
The one who walks a different road.

In the ancient Sufi stories, they were called majzoob — the one magnetized by divine truth. They looked mad to others because they no longer followed the expected path. But they were, in fact, attuned to something deeper than the world could hold.

In Taoism, they are those who “follow the Way” — invisible to the world, but aligned with the deeper order.

You are layered. You contradict yourself. You evolve.
And the culture doesn’t like things it can’t categorize.

But that is its limitation, not yours.

This isn’t about being special.
This isn’t about rejecting the world.

When you stop trying to fit in something else happens.

You begin to remember your own rhythm.
You begin to live from the inside out.

Only love,
