I think we have all experienced a time in our lives where we have experienced being the one getting bullied. It really messes with your mentality, especially at a young age.
I have to admit, once in my lifetime in elementary school, I was once a bully myself! It’s extremely hard to imagine nowadays, because I strongly believe I have grown into a respectable human being, as we all have, with age and wisdom, and it’s hard to imagine being the bully because I realize we are ALL facing some sort of battle in our lives. We all have a story, a background and something to face each and every day. I do hope that whatever you are going through, you get through it with the utmost grace and peace. Truly.
Yesterday, I finally stood up to my adult bully in my life, and yes, unfortunately it is a family member. He is supposed to be a Father figure to me, but I just don’t feel that at all whatsoever. I understand now that what he has said to me is just a reflection of his own insecurities and it’s much easier to take, because I don’t take it personally, which I used to. I take it with a grain of salt, throw it back to the ocean and let the waves take it away into the unknowing abyss.
Unfortunately there are going to be people, regardless if they’re family or not, that are going to come and go right out of your life, like a flash of lightning in the midnight sky on a hot, humid summer’s night. So be it. The Universe is always working for you, clearing paths for you to walk right into a better situation. I promise you that. We have to let go, stay strong and move on. The Earth keeps rotating, the birds keep singing, so you should keep on strutting your beautiful self down that boulevard.
Whoever is trying to control you and beat you down like you’re nothing, just walk away, mentally and literally. There is no word or person or thing that can hurt you, only if you let it. People’s hurtful words just show us that their hearts are a little more empty than ours and that they did not receive the love that they needed when they were a child. Don’t take it too seriously where it mentally breaks you down. You got this. You always did.
After all this has been said and done, I carry on. You carry on too! We have beautiful memories to make and people to love who are actually grateful for our love. Don’t give your time, space or energy to someone who will not reciprocate that love and respect back to you.
From here on out, there will be no such person who will bully me. I will not allow that. My heart and being is far too precious to take on other’s emotions and hurtful words. I refuse to accept any bully’s in my life! I will never be a bully myself!
Protect yourself, because you are a diamond in the ruff. Xx
