Ah! Did I get it all wrong? Wasn’t it always “Ignorance is bliss”?
Well, yes, it is—but for how long? How long can one endure and ignore? How long can one pretend not to be affected and still be happy?
In reality, acceptance is bliss. Only when you know, acknowledge, and accept can you truly be at peace. Once you embrace reality and decide to move with it, that is what makes you stronger, more determined, and calmer.
I tried ignoring for the longest time, giving people and situations the benefit of the doubt. Guess what? It only kept hurting and disappointing me more. That’s when I realized—some facts, situations, and people will never change, no matter what.
And so began my journey of acceptance.
Acceptance isn’t about giving up; it’s about freeing yourself from resistance. It’s choosing peace over endless battles and progress over stagnation. When you embrace yourself—your experiences, strengths, and even flaws—you take control of your happiness. You stop seeking validation and start moving toward your own goals and well-being.
The world will not always be kind. People and situations will test you, shake you, and try to break you. But rather than ignoring reality, embrace it with dignity and the right mindset. Acceptance gives you the strength to navigate challenges with wisdom, not resentment. It allows you to move forward—not as a victim of circumstances, but as the author of your own fate.
“What is this behaviour? How can she live on her own terms and redefine the norms of society? What is this behaviour? How can she live her life according to her will and not be controlled by us all?
Well, oh darling! She has accepted her reality and is walking her path to happiness and success—on her own terms. It’s never easy; it was never meant to be. But it can be WORTH IT.” – RVA
