Embracing your irrelevance.

Here’s something wild to consider: you are not the main character in everyone else’s story.

And thank goodness for that.

We spend so much of our lives consumed by how we’re perceived, worried about being judged, misunderstood, too much, not enough. But the truth? Most people are too busy thinking about their own stuff to care that deeply about what you said on that Zoom call three weeks ago or why you posted that random reel that flopped.

It’s a little humbling, maybe. But also incredibly freeing.

There’s this quiet magic that happens when you realize that your worth doesn’t hinge on being important to everyone. You can just… be. Make things for fun. Say how you feel. Try and fail and try again. Post the “cringe” stuff. Chase that dream. Delete that app. Move cities. Reinvent yourself. Speak up. Stay silent. Whatever you want. Because you’re not being watched half as much as you think.

When you let go of the pressure to be impressive or relevant or constantly “on,” you actually make space to live in a way that feels more real. More you. It reminds you not to take life, or yourself, too seriously. Honestly, being able to say “lol that was a little embarrassing” and keep going? That’s power.

So no, you don’t have to be the best or the biggest or the most interesting person in the room.

You just have to be someone who’s trying, and not care so much.

And I don’t know about you, but that feels like a mental health win to me.
