Soul Letter 110 | When Being Seen Isn’t the Same as Being Received

They say, “Put yourself out there.”

They say, “Use your voice.”

They say, “Visibility is everything.”

But what they don’t say is this:

Being seen but not received hurts more than staying silent.

Because when you speak from the marrow of your remembering... and the world scrolls past it like noise... it doesn’t just sting your ego.

It shakes your nervous system.

It triggers your trauma.

I’ve felt that shake.

I’ve posted what felt like my soul laid bare, only to be dismissed and an algorithm shrugs.

And then the questions come:

Was it too weird? Too niche? Too raw? Too soft? Too loud?

But deep down, I know... I was just too real for a space built to reward noise, not knowing.

I wasn’t unseen.

I was mismatched.

Speaking sacred flame into spaces that only know how to echo.

Because the truth is, I never wanted to be “visible.”

I wanted to be felt.

To be heard without shouting.

To be known without performing.

To be received in the quiet, holy place where truth doesn’t need a pitch deck to matter.

There is nothing wrong with your voice.

There is nothing wrong with your pace.

There is nothing wrong with your fire.

You don’t need a bigger platform.

You need a more resonant field.

And it’s coming.

It always does.

But only when you stop handing your sacred work to spaces that feed on urgency and spit out echoes.

So pause.

Speak when it’s holy.

Rest when it’s not.

Share when it’s real— Not when the algorithm screams now.

You are not behind.

You are not broken.

You are not being lazy.

You are being sacred.

And no one... not one damn person gets to take that from you.

If you’ve ever poured your heart into a truth and been met with silence so loud it echoed this Soul Letter is for you.

P.S. If you’ve been showing up, doing all the “right” things—and still feel unseen, untouched, unfelt—Return to You is your soft reset. Not another strategy. Just you. Fully seen. Fully felt. First by you. The rest will follow.
