The heart is a wonderful thing it has the ability to protect itself from getting hurt repeatedly – that’s what I learned today 🙂
It’s 10: 51 PM on day 181 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go to church – the theme of the sermon was temptation and how we should combat it using the scriptures of the Bible – I could relate to the sermon because every time I feel attacked by someone I say to myself turn thy other check, turn thy other check, turn thy other check – it really works you should try it 🙂 – rest for three hours – there was a power outage and I didn’t have anything else to do LOL 🙂 – tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for a few hours –no donations were made via Twitter but another cousin of mine did pitch in with $21.54 earlier in the day – I was SO happy 🙂 – feed myself Batura – deep fried bread – and vegetable curry for lunch, watch TV, feed myself a banana for dinner and tweet about my campaign some more – no further luck –
Today after church we went to the mall and as per usual I was told to stay in the car so I did only this time I didn’t feel angry, sad or disappointed because I knew that the way people treated me said nothing about me. Do you tie your self-worth to what others do or do not do?
Truly a wonderful post Nisha.
When we are surrounded by those who are anything less than caring it may very well cause us to feel uncared for, unwanted, and maybe even unloved at times. We have all experienced this at a time in our lives. Having esteem in ourselves can carry us through, so true.
Given the same experience, I may ask to be taken home and not left in a car and hope that my needs, wants and desires will be respected.
I will do that next time thanks for the suggestion 🙂
