Be So Real That It Filters Everything

by Myriam :)

I tried to fit in. I tried to soften the parts of me that felt “too much”.

Too intense, too quiet, too deep, too emotional, too curious.

But the more I tried to be like others, the more I felt invisible.

One day, I stopped.Not because I was suddenly confident,

But because I was tired of pretending.

Tired of feeling lost in a version of myself that wasn’t real.

So I made a choice. To be fully me,

Even if it meant losing people along the way.

I started traveling alone. I met new cultures, new cities, new versions of myself.

And little by little, I discovered something beautiful:

The more I was true to myself, the more the right people found me.

The ones who understood my soul.

Being original is not about trying to be “special”.

It’s just about being honest.

You start to attract people who are aligned with your energy.

It’s not always people who look like you. But people who feel you.

That’s what I feel when I see the Dirty Roots spheres.

They don’t try to shine for attention.They just exist.

And because they don’t try to “please”, they become magnetic but only to those who are open, aware, connected.

Same with us.We don’t need to explain ourselves.

We just need to be clear inside, and stand in our truth.

That alone becomes a filter.

When you are real, life filters itself. People who get you will come closer.

So now I don’t try to be like anyone else. I try to be me, clearly.

Even if I feel fragile sometimes. Even if I’m still learning.

Because that’s the energy that creates real connection.

Not perfection. Not control. Just truth.

✨ Be so real that it creates space.

✨ Be so real that it makes the right people stay.

✨ Be so real that even in silence, you are understood.
