🕯️ Real Ones Only: Dream Diaries with Mama Mira

---

Last night I had a dream.

A girl stormed up to me like she wanted to fight.

She was yelling, waving her hands in my face, full of rage, ready to pop off—but she didn’t touch me.

She just… walked away.

Why?

Because in the dream (and in real life), I had told her the truth:

“I think you’re fake. I don’t like you.”

Yup. That’s it. That’s the crime.

Telling someone the truth when they were expecting me to play nice and lie to keep the peace.

And you know what?

This isn’t just dream drama. This has really happened.

More than once.

⚖️ Truth Will Cost You Popularity

Once upon a time, younger me would’ve bent over backward just to be liked.

I was a people-pleaser with a sugarcoated tongue, constantly shape-shifting to keep “friends” who didn’t even know who I really was.

Now?

I don’t sugarcoat anything.

I season it with truth, throw some hot pepper in it, and serve it raw if I need to.

And guess what happened?

The more real I became…

The fewer people stuck around.

😮‍💨 The Dream Wasn’t About Her

That girl in the dream? She’s not just one person.

She’s an archetype. A symbol of all the people I’ve watched spiral when I decided to stand in my truth.

She didn’t throw a punch.

She just made a scene, flailed her arms, and walked away angry.

And I stood there, not shaking. Not chasing.

Not explaining myself.

Because there’s nothing to explain when you're not the one faking.

🔥 The Soul Cost of Authenticity

This dream hit hard because it revealed something I don’t always say out loud:

> Telling the truth will make you lonely—but never lost.

There’s a grief that comes when you no longer shrink to fit.

You look around and suddenly realize:

“Wait... I have no friends left.”

But that silence you feel?

That’s sacred space.

You’ve just cleared the table for the real ones.

🪄 What I Model in This House

In our homeschool, we don’t just learn fractions and grammar.

We learn how to stand on what’s real.

We learn that being honest sometimes comes with a cost.

And we accept that cost because our peace is non-negotiable.

Some people leave.

And that’s okay.

They were never aligned with the truth in the first place—they were only comfortable with convenience.

✨ Mama Mira’s Final Word:

If your truth makes people scream and storm off—

Let them.

> "You didn’t lose a friend. You lost a performance partner."

"You’re not too much. You’re just too real for the ones addicted to illusion."

So when they walk away?

Stand still.

Let the dust settle.

And know: you stayed loyal to yourself.
