Stop Caring: The Power of Indifference and Protecting Your Peace
Stop Caring: The Power of Indifference and Protecting Your Peace
By Angel, Founder of AMC Rise and Thrive
Welcome to your next level. ✨
I want to share a little secret with you today:
Stop caring so much about what other people think.
Seriously. Release it. Let it go. 💨
There’s a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt that I hold close to my
heart, and maybe you will too:
“What other people think of you is none of your business.”
She was absolutely right. ✅
At this stage in my life, there are very few people whose
words or opinions truly affect me anymore. The rest? Their judgments don’t
carry weight—not because I’m cold or uncaring, but because I’ve learned to
protect the parts of me that matter most: my peace, my energy, my time.
The Real Talk No One Dares to Say
Let me be blunt and real with you. There’s a saying I’ve grown
to appreciate, raw as it is:
“If they’re not paying your bills, feeding you, or
fcking
you—then fck them.”
I know, it’s edgy. It might even feel a little shocking. But
stay with me.
This isn’t about being rude, mean, or reckless.
It’s about setting boundaries and reclaiming your power. 💪🏽
It’s about no longer overextending yourself for people who
wouldn’t even lift a finger for you.
The Truth Behind That Saying
Here’s what it really means:
- Meaning: Don’t
pour your energy and love into people who don’t pour anything back. If
someone isn’t actively contributing to your well-being, they don’t deserve
access to your inner world. 🚫
- Usage:
Think of it as your internal boundary check—a reset button for your
emotional energy. 🔄
- Purpose: To
keep your peace sacred. Because peace isn’t just nice to have—it’s
everything. 🕊️
The Power of Indifference
Many believe the opposite of love is hate—but it’s not. The
opposite of love is indifference.
Think about it:
- Hate
still takes energy.
- Indifference
means you no longer care or feel anything.
And that’s where true freedom begins. 🕊️
Indifferent means having no particular
interest or sympathy—being unconcerned.
I’ve mastered the art of walking away. No anger. No drama.
Just peace. ✌🏽
Loyalty vs. Self-Respect
Loyalty is a beautiful thing. I’m deeply loyal. But loyalty
does not mean tolerating disrespect. It does not mean accepting
crumbs.
Loyalty must be mutual. 🤝
If someone’s habits are negative and they try to pull you down
to their level, they are not someone I keep around.
If I can’t trust you, you don’t get access to me.
Simple as that.
Time Is Your Most Precious Currency
Let’s talk about time:
- You
can earn back money. 💸
- But
you can’t earn back time. ⏰
If someone shows me they don’t value my time or
energy—especially after I’ve cleared my schedule, planned ahead, or traveled to
see them—and then they ghost me? That’s not friendship. That’s convenience.
😒
I don’t do convenient relationships anymore. 🚷
I don’t do one-sided anything.
I give what I expect to receive. 💞
And when the exchange is no longer equal?
I’m out. ✌🏽
No More Excuses
Don’t come back with, “But we’ve known each other for so
long.”
Exactly. So you should know better by now.
When I cut people off, it’s not out of spite—it’s out of self-preservation.
I go quiet. No explanation. Just distance. 📵
I don’t have the energy to keep repeating cycles that leave me
drained. 😮💨
The Temptation to Help Hurting People
If you’re like me, a part of you probably wants to help the
people who hurt you. Maybe you hope they’ll change or that you can save the
relationship.
But listen carefully:
🚫 You
can’t pour from an empty cup.
🚫 You can’t fix people who
don’t want to change.
✅ You can only save yourself.
A Wake-Up Call from Einstein
There’s a famous quote by Albert Einstein:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results.”
If you want different results in your life, you have to start
recognizing red flags—and acting on them. 🚩
Don’t excuse bad behavior.
Don’t ignore what hurts you.
See it for what it is.
Real Talk: Relationship Wisdom
One book I highly recommend—especially for women navigating
relationships (and men wanting better understanding)—is:
👉🏽 Act
Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey.
While the focus is on romantic relationships, the insights
apply to all kinds of relationships.
Check your local library—it’s often free! Or find a great deal
at places like ThriftBooks.

Closing Thoughts: Protect What Matters
Your peace.
Your energy.
Your time.
These are your most valuable resources.
Guard them like treasure. 🛡️💎
Stop spending them on people who:
❌ Don’t
reciprocate
❌ Don’t respect you
❌ Don’t show up
Let them talk.
Let them gossip.
Let them misunderstand you.
That’s their business—not yours.
The people who matter will know who you are. You won’t have to
prove anything.
Set Boundaries Like a Boss
So stay loyal to yourself.
Set the boundary.
Honor your intuition.
If anyone calls you “too much,” let them go find less. 💅🏽
Power Is Yours
Remember:
“People only have the power over you that you allow.”
Reclaim that power. Protect your peace.
And if needed, say it boldly:
“F*ck ‘em.” (With love, of course. 😉)
Keep Rising and Thriving
Keep rising. ⬆️
Keep thriving. 🌻
And never forget—
You are worth everything you ask for and more. 💖
🌿
Affirmation
“I release the need for approval. I protect my peace, honor my
worth, and stand in my power—unapologetically.”
Let this be your daily reminder:
Validation comes from within.
Your peace is not up for negotiation.
📖 Bible
Verse
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows
from it.”
This verse speaks directly to the importance of protecting
your inner world—your peace, your energy, your spirit—because it influences
every area of your life.
Until Next Time,
