I know one thing for sure, and that's if you want peace in your life, then you have to learn to be okay with being misunderstood. Stop fighting to be seen, heard, or approved of by those who are incapable or simply uninterested in seeing your perspective. People can only meet you and understand you as deeply as they've met and understand themselves. The more you try to change their level of perception, the more peace that you give up. So simply, learn to let it be.
