I'm 81... Why I stopped explaining my faith to people who only want to judge me.

At 81 years old, Eleanor finally stopped explaining her faith to people who only wanted to judge it. For most of her life, belief was something quiet — learned through work-worn hands, shared meals, loss, and love. It wasn’t an argument. It wasn’t a performance. It was simply how she made sense of the world. But over time, that quiet faith was dragged into debates, comment sections, and family dinners where it had to be defended, justified, and translated into language it was never meant to speak. This is the story of how Eleanor realized that constantly explaining her faith was slowly hollowing it out. How defending something sacred turned it into a battleground. How trying to be understood by everyone cost her the peace she once felt so naturally. And how stepping away — from arguments, from social media, from the need to convince — brought that peace back. She didn’t lose her faith. She protected it. This isn’t a story about religion versus disbelief. It’s about boundaries. About knowing when something in your life is too personal, too fragile, too real to be handed over for public approval. About choosing to live your values instead of arguing for them. If you’ve ever felt pressured to justify the quiet parts of who you are… If you’ve argued yourself into exhaustion trying to be understood… If peace has felt harder to hold than opinions… This story is for you. 🕯️ Question for you: What part of your life would feel lighter if you stopped explaining it? 👍 Like • 🔔 Subscribe • 💬 Share this with someone who’s tired of defending their inner world #LearnedItLate #LifeLessons #Faith #Boundaries #InnerPeace #Wisdom
