Not everyone deserves access to you and the sooner you accept that, the stronger you become. Think of your energy like a private event: velvet ropes, strict guest list, no plus-ones without approval. If you’ve been giving everyone equal access, don’t be surprised when they treat you like general admission.
Villain era energy isn’t about being cold, it’s about being selective. Your time, your attention, your peace? Those are currency. You don’t spend them on anyone who shows up empty-handed. Not every text deserves a reply. Not every invitation deserves a yes. Not every “wyd” gets the privilege of your energy.
Here’s the shift: when your energy is by invitation only, people notice. Suddenly, you’re not chasing, you’re choosing. They realize your attention isn’t free, it’s earned. And the ones who don’t make the cut? They feel the distance like a locked door.
This isn’t about ego though, it’s about boundaries. Protecting your energy doesn’t mean you hate people; it means you love yourself enough to stop bleeding out for anyone who doesn’t deserve your pulse.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
Not everyone deserves a seat at your table, some people should be left outside the club.
