It’s not that they don’t see you.
It’s that your rise reminds them they stayed small.
Your glow threatens the version of themselves
they chose to protect instead of grow.
So they shrink your brilliance to feel safe in their shadow.
They withhold praise,
not because you’re unworthy—
but because it costs them power to admit
you’ve become something they never dared to be.
Some will scroll past your becoming like it’s nothing.
Some will borrow your voice in secret
but never tag the source.
Some will watch everything you post
just to make sure they still know where to place you.
They’ll say your glow is fake.
That it’s filters, Photoshop—pretend.
Meanwhile, their own selfies blur at the edges
because even pixels can’t perfect what’s unresolved.
They’ll say you’re “too much,”
but only because you’ve outgrown
the version of you they were comfortable dimming.
Let them whisper.
Let them withhold.
Let them take your blueprint
and act like Heaven didn’t hand you the original.
Because even if they screenshot the aesthetic
and strip the credit,
they’ll never carry your oil.
They weren’t anointed to build it.
But beloved,
your destiny isn’t determined by their support.
Your light is not up for negotiation.
God gave you the measurements.
He placed you in the divine timeline.
You?
You keep blooming.
You keep becoming.
You keep loving yourself like a devotion.
Because the same God who whispered vision into your soul
will bring the right eyes, the right audience, the right overflow.
And when they come back one day, acting like they always knew—
you’ll be too full, too rooted, too radiant
to need their validation.
