Don't believe what anyone says about you if you don't feel it is true.

 

Don't believe what anyone says about you if you do not feel it is true. Name calling/being bullied is the most hurtful thing a child must endure when growing up. Statistically, those children grow up to become abusers themselves, often expressed in gaslighting and name calling others as well as denying saying anything inappropriate.

Yes, let us choose peace over drama, and a mutual respect.

Either we are all crazy or no one is crazy. I like to think of myself as a good kind of crazy, bringing gentleness, compassion and clarity...through my poetry, healing practice, and simply my presence. Some of my finest spiritual teachers were terrifically crazy, going to great lengths to edify with humor, artfulness, and loving kindness.

I don't wish to be thought of as normal, if that means always acting in predictable ways. There is no true inner growth there. I go out of my way not to hurt others.Sometimes that means distancing, when the drama blurs perceptions/the truth of the situation.

If anyone says I am crazy based on their discontent about how I handle something in my personal life, they are being manipulative and bullying... They are NOT in any position to come on with righteous indignation.

But still the name calling hurts to the core. Luckily, I did not get to the self doubting stage.. because I have enough self esteem and I value who I am..

I know we are all slightly cracked eggs doing our best within an often challenging world.
Peace out dear friends..
