I’m not oblivious.

 I don’t always react, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t notice. 

I catch the shift in tone, the hesitation in your voice, the way someone leaves something out or says a little too much. 

I notice the looks, the timing, the patterns that change when someone thinks no one’s paying attention. 

I just choose not to respond to everything. Not out of weakness, but because I’ve learned that silence can be its own kind of strength. 

Sometimes it’s not about calling things out in the moment—it’s about understanding more than what’s being shown on the surface.

I’ve come to realize that people eventually reveal who they are, with or without your reaction. You don’t have to rush to confront, explain, or correct every little thing. Letting things unfold, letting people show you their patterns over time—that’s when the truth really settles in. And when you stop reacting to every small thing, you start to see the bigger picture much more clearly. 

I’m not oblivious. I’m just not interested in wasting energy on performances. I’d rather watch quietly and learn what’s real.
