Who do you need to stop watering yourself down for? “I am not your cup of tea… and that’s okay.” You were never meant to be tolerated in small sips. 
 You were meant to be fully received — by people who value the strength, depth, and heat of who you are. You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.
 And that isn’t a failure — it’s clarity. Stop changing the tea.
 Be the brew. — davidgatepoet #selfawareness #leadership #poetry #poems #davidgate emotionalintelligence
