When people used hurt me or mistreat me my natural instinct used to be to treat them like they treated me or try to make them feel the pain I felt. After years of trying to respond that way i learned that it was hurting me more than it was hurting them because that is not who i was. Trying to get even takes too much energy and anger for me. I become tired and frustrated way too fast trying to go back and forth that i just give up. I have learned that instead of doing people how they do me its just better off to forgive and move on and/ or remove my presence from them. I believe removing my presence will hurt them worst than doing what they did to me if they truly care. Because I have been learning to value myself and see myself the way God sees me. One thing i know now is I’M one DOPE individual and the vibe i have you cannot get anywhere else. Now i just pray and ask God to help me continue to remain dope regardless of how they treat me or what they say about me. When i start trying to treat people how they treat me i am changing who i am to tolerate them in my life. I have made up in my mind to refuse to change who i am. i am going to continue to be good to them regardless. Its not my problem if they cannot appreciate my goodness, but with all due respect i don’t mind taking my goodness where it will be appreciated. No point in treating them like they treat me and trying to kick someone when they are down because only hurt people hurt people. They don’t need my help being hurt because they already are. Baby i am learning to let that hurt go and keeping it moving. I’m on a journey to growth and i’m not trying to be bitter and I’m just trying to be better.
