It’s been so long since I wrote a blog post.
I was so held up with a lot of things. But I was having so many thoughts running on mind and I thought I should definitely pen it down with words here.
I was conversing with one of my well-wishers a few things. This cleared my doubts and calmed me a bit more.
That friend of mine has always told me to hold on to being respectful to myself. Even if I very keenly follow that, there are very few around me who literally put me down with their words. I’ve always been someone who doesn’t care about any shitheads saying anything about me. But recently things had gotten tough and it started breaking me. Also, it has shown the true colours of their character. I’m at that point in life where I literally stoped minding about anyone gossiping behind my back. But the worst part of this is, no matter how much I try to do, people keep repeating their ridiculous act.
Of all, one of the best things I’ve done so far is to move away from people who disrespected and ill-treated me. I’ve learned that no matter who is it, they are never worth your self-respect. Dignity and class are important. It is completely okay to be rude, straightforward, and question back if anyone is touching your self-respect.
A kind advice to every woman facing this:
Whenever you feel another woman is making you feel so bad about yourself, your body, your skin or your hardwork, put your head up, don’t give a damn, and walk away. Don’t sit there and listen to the conversation either. They have the capacity to make you hate yourself. Never give that space to anyone. Someone celebrating you just by who you are and what you do is more important than someone constantly putting you down. After all, if you see them coming again and sticking around you, don’t give them a second chance.
It is such a shame that we live in a society where women put other women down. Let peace remain, please.
