- 🇬🇧 English - How to say “no” without guilt

Language: English



IT REALLY STEALS YOUR AIR

There is a yes that overwhelms you.

It is not the yes that is born from desire.

It is not the yes that vibrates in your chest like a war drum.

It's the other one.

The one that slips through your fingers like a betrayal.

It's the yes you give

when your project waits for you in silence.

It's the "yes" you offer

when your body cries out for rest in a language only you understand.

It's the "yes" that you repeat like a mantra of submission:

"If I can."

“Yes, now.”

“Yes, even though it hurts.”

That one definitely has a flavor.

It tastes like metal.

It feels like an obligation.

And it leaves a lasting impression.

A fine dust that accumulates:

— In your bones, like ancient weariness,

— In your smile, like a hardened mask,

— In your gaze, like a closed window.

This book is not for those who say "yes" and feel at peace.

It's for the "yes" warriors

that, at night, in the shower, in the locked bathroom,

They dream of the liberating cry of a “no”.

This is your alchemy manual.

To transform the lead of pleasing

in the gold of loyalty to yourself.

Welcome to the revolution

of a single word.
