Let them

This is a copy paste, these are not my words.
I don't know who needs to hear this today,
but here it is
Are you familiar with the “Let Them” theory?
I’ll tell you the more I grow the more I am okay with accepting the “Let Them” in my own life and relationships. Even family can mistreat and disrespect you.
This is something that took me a very long time to learn. I used to tolerate a lot because
I didn't want to lose people. I learned the hard way if they were really my people
they would never treat me like that. Don't make the mistake
of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook
the fact that you're being repeatedly disrespected.
Let them be upset.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you,
Let them ignore you.
Let them be "right."
Let them doubt you.
Let them not like you.
Let them not speak to you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.
Whatever it is that people want to say about you, let them!
Kindly step aside and LET THEM.
The hard truth is they know how much they are hurting you. They just simply don't care.
They did it knowing it could cause them to lose you. They did it anyway. People that love you care
about how they make you feel.
The end.
Let them go.
There will be people that would rather lose you than be honest
about what they've done to you.
Let them go.
The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure.
The lack of care was the closure. The lack of accountability was the closure.
The lack of honestly was the closure.
Let them go.
Make the decision to no longer sit at tables where you might be the topic
when you get up. Let them go.
You can still be kind. You can even still love them deeply.
But do it from the distance they created in their words and actions.
Access to you is a privilege they have proven they can’t be trusted with. Let them go.
You don’t need to tell your side of the story. God already knows.
Let God fight the battle for you. Let them go.
It’s taken me a long time to get here. Sleepless nights, countless tears, managing a
range of emotions filled with anger, disappointment, confusion and deep hurt. Lots of self reflection,
self preservation, deep prayer and seeking wisdom from those much wiser than me.
If you are struggling with this please know you are not alone. We will never understand
why hurt people hurt people. But we can do the hard work to grow ourselves.
Because healed people do in fact heal people.
Don’t you dare let them steal your joy.
Don’t you dare let them steal your light.
Don’t you dare let them steal your peace.
You are in control of that.
Hold tight to what you can control and release your grip on what you can’t control.
Let them go.

I was asked last night by a friend what compelled me to "come back" to VR
I haven't logged in, in well years...a minute here or there, but haven't
come back like I once was...I feel like one of the OG's of the site, lol
But this would today be my response when
I think about that question,
because really...
why?
Returning to this place "VR" that once served as my escape feels like reconnecting with a part of myself.
Even though I haven’t been here in a while, there’s still a pull to keep that space
open for the friendships that I've made.
Some memories may be tinged with sadness, but the bond with those
connections remains strong,
and the space holds a quiet significance,
a reminder of growth, warmth, and shared moments

In reflection today...
At one point, I might have believed in certain behaviors, thoughts and
generalized beliefs because I was in a difficult or unhealthy mental space.
But with time, care, and unconditional love from others, a mindset can shift.
Nurturing love and understanding help to see things differently,
allowing your thinking to change for the better,
leading to healthier choices and actions.
Is that hard to grasp, or who's right is it to even question your current mindset and beliefs?
Hmm?
