Morgan Richard Olivier's "Let Them Lose You" is a powerful reminder that we cannot control how others perceive us or treat us. Sometimes, the best thing we can do for ourselves is to let go of people who do not appreciate us or who take us for granted.
Let Them Lose You
You need to let people lose you
Let them go along with the crowd
Let them believe what they want to believe
Let them think they have better
Let them sleep on your worth
Because in due time they will realize the mistake they made,
and it will be just enough time for you to accept that you're better off without them.
-Morgan Richard Olivier
The sentiment is especially relevant in today's world, with so much pressure from social media about how we should look, act, and think. It can be easy to feel like we need to conform to these messages in order to be accepted by others. However, when we do this, we are essentially giving up our power and our authenticity.
The truth is, we are all unique and special in our own way. We deserve to be surrounded by people who love and appreciate us for who we are, flaws and all. If we find ourselves in relationships with people who do not see our worth, it is time to let them go.
Of course, letting go of people is not always easy. It can be painful and scary to think about losing the connection we have with them. However, it is important to remember that we are not losing anything of value. In fact, we are freeing ourselves up to find relationships with people who will love and support us unconditionally.
Here are some tips for letting go of people who do not appreciate you:
Recognize your worth. The first step is to truly believe that you are worthy of love and respect. Once you have this inner confidence, it will be easier to let go of people who do not see your worth.
Set boundaries. If you have people in your life who are constantly taking advantage of you or putting you down, it is important to set boundaries. This may mean limiting your contact with them or refusing to engage in certain behaviors.
Focus on yourself. When you are letting go of people, it is important to focus on yourself and your own needs. This means doing things that make you happy and spending time with people who make you feel good.
If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. Many people have been in the same situation as you. It is possible to let go of toxic relationships and find happiness and fulfillment. I’ve done it - you can too!

I’m not sure what I’m more addicted to: coffee or creating content. But one thing is for sure, I can’t do one without the other. So, if you want to keep me caffeinated and creative, please consider buying me a coffee. I’ll use it to fuel my creativity and keep creating the content you love. Or, if you’re feeling generous, you can buy me a coffee and a pastry. I won’t say no to either! 😉 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/valeriethewallflower
