Some people are going to refuse to celebrate the new person you've become because you've grown beyond the limits they decided to set for you in their head. Mind your own business and leave them be with whatever weird cartoon version of you they've created in their minds. Remember that you are not how they treat you. They are their own mirror revealing their true colors. They ARE how they treat you. You just keep right on shinning your light and know that I and many others love you very much! 🤍

Y E S - learned this a long time ago ... how could I be so different to so many people until I realized they were talking about themselves ... now I smile and nod and give them some sort of hope to carry on, almost like a forgiveness.

It helps when you find your under surprise fire to be able to stand back and remember that everything they are firing at you actually has nothing to do with you. it makes it easier to not be angry/bitter.
