Words Hurt

You know, when I was in school I got bullied a lot.
It hurt.
I was kind of over weight for my age and being picked on really affected how I learned
I will never forget the nights I cried myself to sleep because of how someone's words affected me.
I was 12. I didn't know then how the world would be when I grew up..
Looking back now, I wish I could have told myself that it doesn't change.

People are mean.
People are hateful and spiteful and lie right through their teeth just to see you shed a tear.
The biggest bullies are adults.
The ones that claim to be Christians.
The ones that claim to be a friend.
The ones that claim they'll be there for you, or even just the person that doesn't know you, that likes to make stories up and tell everyone that it's true in some way.
It's ridiculously sad.

What's really important is to realize as an adult, the bullies are all around you and you have to learn how to dodge them.
The pain of being bullied, even as an adult- hurts.
It hurts like a rock in your stomach.
I really don't know what that feels like in the literal sense. But I can tell you what it feels like emotionally.
It feels like you can't breathe. It feels like you could cry if someone even looks your way.
It feels like you've done something wrong but you can't understand what.

Some people feel like rumors are funny. They aren't.

Some people struggle more than anyone else will ever know.
Maybe try being genuinely nice to people.
Maybe try understanding and actually communicating with people instead of talking behind their backs about them.

From what I know, the same people that will sit behind their phone or computers and message you nonsense, will NEVER come to you to your face and explain why they don't like you.
They will continue to slander your name and finally you just get sick of it.

I believe I blocked 28 people today and 3 blocked me too.
But you know I've never really felt so heart broken about something I don't even know what I did.

Choose your friends and acquaintances wisely.

The devil likes to use people to test your faith. I'd be lying if I said I've never been tested.
Becoming a better person is hard sometimes.
You have to forget about what you couldn't do and strive to do better...
