| Love yourself :) |
It never fails to surprise me when people act in heinous ways,
say nasty words, and degrade others all to feel more powerful. And to be
honest, it happens to me often by the closest of people. It’s questionable whether or not those
individuals had horrible childhoods or suffer from personality disorders, but
what I can be sure of is no matter how many times I’ll repeat the saying “sticks
and stones may hurt my bones” words always seem to get the best of me.
It might be my lack of emotional strength or my naivety, but
I am always susceptible to things as simple as words and can dwell on the mean
things people say for days, weeks, even months. Is it fair I have to go through
that? No it’s not. But then again, when was life ever fair. That fact does not justify people’s
disgusting actions though.
My advice to you is to think before you speak. No matter the
mood you’re in, or the situation around you, it shouldn't be that you have to
hurt others emotionally or physically to get your point across. It does not
make you powerful to have the upper hand or cause emotional distraught to
others. It makes you weak. It makes you a victim of your own self-hatred and it
lessens the respect people have for you. It’s a golden rule; treat others the
way you want to be treated. When’s the last time you wanted someone to treat
you like you’re worthless? When’s the last time you thought to yourself “I wish
someone would punch me in the face”? I would hope never. So don’t do to others
what you’d hate to see done to yourself. Because what goes around comes around.
And karma’s a bitch who won’t for a second hesitate to bark up your alley.
If you’re a victim of such treatment, I would hope that you
realize your worth and appreciate your intelligence, creativity and sovereignty.
And most importantly, love yourself.
Peace and much love to all of y’all <3
