As I look ahead to 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on a personal commitment I am making for the year. Moving forward, anyone who chooses to be abusive or sickening towards me will not receive a response or any mention from me. They will be completely ignored.

It’s a serious stance, but one that I believe is essential for my own peace of mind and well-being. In a world where negativity often finds its way into your life, it can be all too easy to engage in back-and-forth conflicts. However, I've come to realize that it’s far more empowering to focus on positivity and upliftment rather than getting tangled in negativity.

Ignoring toxic interactions is a powerful tool. By refusing to acknowledge those who seek to bring me down, I'm creating space for people who truly uplift and support me. This isn't just about avoiding negativity—it's about setting boundaries that honor my mental and emotional health.

So, to everyone out there who might be considering an unkind word or action towards me: save your energy. I will choose to invest my time and attention on those who inspire and encourage me. Let's create an environment where kindness and respect reign supreme.
