I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually thankful for the people who made things a little difficult for me. I'm talking about a group in particular, one who is supposed to be close, but it's precisely we are supposed to be close, that words and actions are not chosen wisely.
I never stood up for myself as a kid.
When I got bullied, I'll cower in a corner. Someone would stand up for me. If no one did, then it was it. Just like that.
Because of the incidents that took place recently, I know I have to stand up for the ones I love.
I have to protect them.
And because of this, I emerged stronger.
Stronger than I imagined myself to be. I never knew I was capable of that.
Because of them, I've also learnt forgiveness.
I was quite the person to forgive easily but this caused so much hurt and pain that I wasn't able to.
I thought I would be upset with them till the end of time, but I realised that I'm able to forgive them. Slowly. But it's happening. I'm learning to slowly re-accept them as well.
Let's hope things improve.
(And please don't step on my tail again. I'm no longer a scaredy-cat but a mama lion. Just sayin'.)
