A message for those who feel they are hurting others!
There is a lesson I have learnt from my parents about what it means to hurt others. And it is something I am only realizing two years after the events took place.
If you feel as if you are hurting someone or the people close to you by simply being yourself or wanting what is best for you; then you are not being harmful towards those people. Often times when it feels like just being yourself is hurting others it is not because that is the actually case but rather that someone is making you feel like being yourself is somehow harming them. And that is not ok!!! Everyone should be comfortable with being themselves and not having that safety is a sign that maybe you are not the one in the wrong for once.
It can be really easily to blame ourselves for making others comfortable with our uniqueness, but being yourself is so important. If someone has a problem with anyone expressing their true self, they need to do some work, not you!!!
So if it ever feels like maybe you are hurting everyone around you and you can't stop, take a step back and really look at what you are doing. If you are doing things to be closer to expressing yourself then you are not in the wrong. If you are doing things to make sure you are safe, cared for, and loved, then that is not wrong. I really hope everyone that needs to hear this gets this message because it is so important!
Well wishes you all!☺️
