See we all have a plan in the back of our mind at how we think our life will turn out and when that plan changes we have a hard time accepting it. A lot of people in my life that I never thought would hurt me have, a lot of situations I handled I never imagined I would face. See we all aren't who we think we will be, sometimes we are better sometimes we aren't.
I have a rough couple of months ahead of me and decided the best way to prepare is to do some healing, searching, acceptance of what has happened in the past and understand that people will hurt you only if you allow them to hurt you.
So I woke up on February 1st and said I am gonna take this month and be a little selfish, distance myself a little and learn to like myself more, regardless of what other people want and expect from me. I was going to take this month to heal before I needed to focus on my real healing in April.
At the end of the day this is YOUR life, you can not hurt unless you let people hurt you, stop looking for acceptance, stop expecting people to understand how you feel or cut you some slack because you have been dealt a bad hand. Do not pay so much mind to what people do to you, treat others the way you want to be treated but most importantly love yourself, accept that you will do the best for yourself regardless what others want from you.
Start today by healing and letting go of the hurt but learn the lessons and make sure to not repeat the lessons. No one is perfect, not everyone will like you but you must like yourself. Don't let people treat you any way you do not want them to treat you. Do not allow yourself to get hurt. Stand strong and in the end of the day love who you are and no matter what others want from you, put yourself first. It's your life!
Start healing today!
