#standupforyourself

Removing myself from all situations where I don’t feel loved, supported, appreciated, or respected.

Gentleman Rule #142 Being a gentleman doesn't mean its ok to be taken advantage of, stand up for yourself

Manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their disrespect.

Do you believe in tranference of energy?

People who in a round about way say you're not shit and then touch you, hug you, kiss you or have sex with you are transferring that 'Inner-G' on to you and then you allowed it.

This is where setting healthy boundaries comes in to play.

You must stand up for yourself 💪🏾🧿

Standing up for yourself comes in many forms. Being combative isn't the best defense nor is being sarcastic 🤌

Turning their opinion into a question, so they can know you were actively listening, determine if they mean what they actually are saying and provide answers that does not create games or an argument.

And then go on with your day. Clean up, journal, play some music, listen to something that matters because what they are going through has nothing to do with you.

They are probably not accepting their role in whatever decision or situation they are in, so they are trying to transfer their negative Inner-G to you because they need someone to feel the way they do or worse

Protect yourself with a mantra or phrase to remind you that their Inner-G is not yours✌🏽🧿

What is Love?

Note on the text: I used the 2022 edition of Cheryl Strayed’s Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice from Dear Sugar as published by Vintage Books

Love. Human being have been searching for love, chasing it, since time immemorial. And love is the number one topic of discussion in this 21st century version of Dear Abby.

The most beautiful thing about life as I see it is that we are the ones who “get to define the terms” of our own lives (18). No one else gets to do that. Same with love, no one gets to really tells us what love is. We get to decide that for ourselves. There is a sense in which love can be whatever it is that you need it to be because there’s a degree to which it is subjective. And people’s inability to understand that is at the core of why many people remain in unhealthy relationships for as long as they do. They know, somewhere in the back of their mind, that the spouse who abuses them does not really love them, yet they choose to force themselves to believe that the other person loves them just because they say that they do, and that’s why they stay in those relationships for far longer than they have to. They stay because they force themselves to believe what the other person says when they say “I love you” even if the person being abused knows without a doubt that they would not treat another person that they loved the way that their spouse, in this example, is treating them. 

Love is, and can be, a multitude of things. It can be as “light as the hug we give a friend or as heavy as the sacrifices we make for our children. It can be romantic, platonic, familial, fleeting, everlasting, conditional, unconditional” among many other things (15). The point is that love can be anything that you need it to be and only you get to decide what love is for you. 

Love is an essential part of what it means to be human. It’s in your core. It rises above all of our superficial wants and desires. There is a difference between you not getting the love that you deserve vs you simply not getting what you want, and the difference is simple yet profound: our core doesn’t go away. Interests change and desires fade but what it’s in your core doesn’t and “the truth that lives there will eventually win out. It’s a god [that] we must obey, a force that inevitably brings us to our knees” (174). It’s up to you to decide (and define) what love means to you, and its also up to you to get the type of love that is most meaningful for you. The kind that nourishes your unique body and soul. It’s your life. Don’t let anyone else live it for you.

The seasons that test your strength, the situations that feel uncomfortable, and the decisions that require courage are the very things that will lead you towards true fulfillment.

If you’re willing to walk through the fire and surrender to uncertainty, you will eventually experience all of the beauty that awaits you on the other side.

So stop running away from the hard things.

Because the hard things build the foundation for the good things to grow.

A price I’m never willing to pay again is losing myself just for the sake of keeping another person.

Life Lens - Entry 157

Respect is Non-Negotiable Respect is a fundamental value for me, and it’s something I hold in high regard. I put a lot of emphasis on treating others with respect and expect the same in return. Even if I come across as friendly or easygoing, don’t mistake my demeanor for a lack of boundaries or a willingness to be disrespected. I value kindness and being approachable, but that doesn’t mean I’m…

I was invited to a Youth function since I've been an advocate for Mental Health Awareness and I had to speak in front of at least 80 young students and 15 staff.

I hope you all have the time to read my story. I have not mentioned this experience to anyone but now. ⬇️

I still remember that day in high school when I received hurtful comments from my former teacher. He told me that I had a "gay walk" and a "flamboyant quality" and that could limit my options in life. It was devastating to hear those words, especially coming from someone who was supposed to support me and help me grow.

I was shocked and felt like I had just been punched in the gut. Those words echoed in my head for weeks, months, years and a lifetime. I started to question everything about myself. Was there something wrong with me? Was I not living up to other people's expectations? It was a lot to handle, especially at such a young age.

But as time went on, I began to realize that those comments said more about my former teacher's biases and prejudices than they did about me. I learned to embrace my individuality and celebrate the traits that make me who I am. I refused to let anyone's narrow-mindedness hold me back or define me.

Looking back, I am grateful for that experience, as painful as it was. It taught me to be strong, resilient, and true to myself, no matter what anyone else thinks. And I hope that someday my former teacher will come to realize that her words were hurtful and that everyone deserves respect and acceptance, no matter their sexual orientation or gender expression.

I am an epileptic, I am disabled, I am a supernatural and marvel fan, I listen to a lot of music, I am photosensitive, I am scared of dying in my sleep, I am a kitchen witch, I am a gardener, I am a dog mom, I am many things and I exist as a disabled person.

July is disability pride month, no celebrities tweet about it, few know about it and if I’m being honest most people don’t want to think about us, let alone talk about us. society is more likely to accept a person who marries a cardboard cutout of a celebrity than a person with a physical, mental,invisible or visible disability. we need to change that, politicians need to step up to end the systemic oppression of disabled people, mentally ill people, people of color, the lgbtq community, and impoverished people more people need to call them out. this is not what the right wing conservatives call a communist agenda, this is a human rights issue. I was taught to stand up to bullies, to stand up for other people even if it means I lose friends or relationships. good core principles are more important than two people who disagree with you. So all in all stand up for me, for your friends, for yourself, and for people you barely know. not because I told you to, not because a celebrity told you to, but because it’s the right thing to do.
