Repeat after me: We do not beg to sit at tables we were not invited to. We do not chase people who exclude or ignore us.
We do not seek healing from those who hurt us. We do not sell ourselves out to get into someone's circle. We do not set ourselves on fire to keep others warm.
We create our own circle. We surround ourselves with only those who truly love, understand, and respect us. We learn where to express our energy. We remember our self-worth.
If you see someone being interrupted in a conversation, acknowledge them, don't let them be pushed to the side. If you see someone lagging behind, walk beside them. If someone is being ignored, take the step to include them. Always remind people of their worth. It hurts when it feels like you're being forgotten. That small gesture can mean a lot.
Isolate as much as you want to become stronger, even if you see that loneliness is an unbearable hell, it is much better than the multiple masks of humans.
Adulting advice: make time to travel, even if it’s just a cheap little getaway. Go to the beach, breathe, rest and enjoy your hard-earned money. Life isn’t only about working and paying bills. You deserve to enjoy it too.
