You’re not everyone’s cup of tea
The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, no matter what you try, will simply not like you. But the world is also filled with those who will love you fiercely. The ones who love you: they are your people
Don’t waste your finite time and heart trying to convince the people who aren’t your people that you have value. They will miss it completely. They won’t buy what you are selling. Don’t try to convince them to walk your path with you because you will only waste your time and your emotional good health. You are not for them and they are not for you. You are not their cup of tea and they are not yours.
Politely wave them along and you move away as well. Seek to share your path with those who recognize and appreciate your gifts, who you are. Be who you are.
You are not everyone’s cup of tea and that is OK.
look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you
Photography by Adeolu Osibodu
I’m Adeolu Osibodu, a 20-year-old photographer from Nigeria, West Africa. In 2015, I decided I wanted to channel my emotions, state of mind, and how I saw the world into a visual craft. I didn’t want to have to talk too much to express myself. I ended up starting out in photography with my smartphone. The process of framing a mood out of nothing but fragments of ideas in your head is the most beautiful thing one can experience. It wasn’t until mid-2016 that I started to take it more seriously and put my work online. I’m currently dabbling in fashion work with brands that are unique, full of mystery and have stories to be told.
