People who didn't accept me for me.
People who are self centered and only have time when they need something.
They judged me. They criticized me. They shamed me.
I write those as past statements, because I made the choice to walk away from that negative energy and embrace the good parts of my life a while back.
I think having the year from hell changed me. It made my bullshit tolerance go to ZERO. In other words "don't make your problem my problem" and "be kind or leave".
You see love is not a competition.
But some people treat it like it is.
How sad for them to think it is.
I have been spending time with people who matter.
Who let me be me.
Who embrace my imperfections.
People who say "it's part of your charm", rather than rolling their eyes or shaking their fingers at me while trying to shame me.
Yesterday I was reunited with four amazing women I haven't spent time with in TOO long.
They radiate love and goodness.
They are on their own journeys and they appreciate the experience of it all.
They are KIND.
They are beautiful inside and out.
I am blessed. My heart if full. I'm off today to spend time with another amazing woman who has entered my life via work but we knew we were kindered spirits immediately.
So instead of feeling sad about walking away from the toxic relationships that were once around me, I instead feel free and optimistic. Because how lucky am I? I have a lot of sisters from other mothers who love me authentically... and for that I am truly grateful.
Truly. Truly. Grateful.
