I refuse to work on people that don’t work on me.
I mean, the last thing they said to me was, “You don’t understand” which completely blindsided me. So here goes the plan. I will make myself unavailable all the time. Not all of the time but some of the time. I won’t walk on eggshells by giving them all of my time. I won’t rush through the things that are important to me so I can be completely focused on them.
ATTENTION:
GAS LIGHTERS, …
I accept TRUE PEOPLE ONLY!
Maybe it’s because of life experiences how someone views everything. But there comes a time when you say enough is enough.
…The lingering peace I felt on that warm day was profound. It would spill through my mind like the flowing water over the rocks at the lake.
I sat under the old oak tree. It protected me from the sun’s heat. I wanted to feel peace. I did not want to feel frustration while reflecting on the young children who played at the lake that day. The images of the young children swimming during the ten o’clock lunch did not give me an adequate break. It was way too early for lunch. Although, I considered any break I got a fringe perk of working at a local university. The resonance of a loud, noise didn’t fit the environment of peace that was surrounding me. The kids and I heard a girl scream. She was running. I noticed a group of kids who stopped splashing in the water while spinning around. They reacted to the scream from the young girl. She was chasing a beach ball. She tripped over a layer of towels that had a frill of satin on the edges. The girl was okay in spite of a scraped knee. She got up and continued to play.
That’s the thing about being a young child. It’s easier to bounce back from falls and focus on play. Somehow, as adults, we forget peace and replace it with frustration.
This reminds me of my only major change of the new year so far. I created a new blog but kept my special friends that I usually interact with the most. I use my blog for my peace. It’s my coping skill in this world of hate.
Until Next Time,
Heidi💜

Love the idea of making yourself unavailable sometimes – how do you decide when to set those boundaries? 🤔
