I am not taking any credit for this. It came straight from the page Sacred Dreams on Facebook. I did write some comment of my own when I shared it. I had an unusual text sent to me that I have saved for harassment purposes. I didn't know the number but thought it was a new co-worker or something trying to contact me. It ended up being someone who does not know me at all accusing me of horrible things. (It could be someone who thinks they know me and is two-faced.) One of which lying about my situation. Who lies about horrible things happening to them? I guess people do to get attention but that isn't my style. Yes, everyone likes attention. I prefer positive attention from loved ones and friends. This individual obviously enjoys being hurtful and angry to others. And in the middle, using Christianity as their reason to call me a liar. Hmmmmm.....
Another horrible thing to "yell" at anyone even within a text is get therapy or you need therapy implying they are so broken by their standards they need professional help. Yet I AM in therapy to address the said DXs that this person says I am lying about. Let's just say, get to know your verbal abuse victims better before you insult them. Your foot will probably go straight into your mouth.
“The truth is — genuine connection is ease. It is peace. When you find it, you will know. You will feel seen, you will feel like you are being mirrored back to yourself, like you are discovering the shadow of your own heart in another human being.
Slowly, through loving the right people, you will come to realize that the human beings who are meant for you in this world will not exhaust you, or hollow you out, or leave you feeling like you are hard to love.
Slowly, you will learn how to lay down your arms. How to walk away from those who will only ever love you in halves. Slowly, you will learn that you cannot love someone into loving you, or being ready, if they are not. You cannot love someone into their potential. You cannot close their hands around your heart if they are not willing to hold it themselves.
You have to let them go.
You have to focus on the people in your life who bring you back home to yourself. You have to focus on standing up for that kind of connection, on honoring that calm, because it exists. It exists.
And I hope you learn to trust that, because when you come across it, when you ultimately experience it, it feels as if you are standing at a door you finally have the keys for. You enter it with ease. There is no fumbling through your jacket pocket trying to find the right way in.
There is no desperately reaching into your bag trying to uncover the point of access. You are no longer banging your fists against the door, asking to be invited in.
You walk through. Soundlessly. Softly. Relief washes over you. You take off your shoes. You hang your coat in the closet. You put on a pot of coffee.
You’re home.
You’re home.”~
