"...and still I rise"

if only you was you again

Not every soul deserves access to your energy. Some people love the warmth you give but bring only coldness in return. They speak beautifully, promise deeply, pretend sincerely— yet their actions whisper a different truth. And with time, a woman begins to understand something powerful: Her presence is not cheap. The softness in her heart, the loyalty in her love, the peace in her aura, the fire in her spirit— these are not things to hand out carelessly to those who only come close when it benefits them. A queen does not chase attention. She watches actions. Energy. Consistency. Because words can wear masks, but effort never lies. So she walks through life like a warrior with a sacred blade— calm, graceful, yet fully aware of her worth. And when disrespect approaches, she no longer begs to be chosen. She simply closes the gate to her kingdom. Not out of arrogance— but out of self-respect. For the most attractive thing about her was never only her beauty… It was the moment she realized her energy is precious, and stopped giving royal access to people with peasant intentions. 🖤
