As we grow up, many of us are taught to care for others, watch your baby brother or sister, don’t cause trouble, keep quiet; it may involve abusive and erratic environments, emotional isolation, being made to understand why another person is acting in a certain way or bullying you. How do you become the best person that you were born to be, in an unstable and dangerous house.
We are taught to consider others and make excuses for their behaviour
We are taught to assist others at the detriment of ourselves
We are taught that being a good child means don’t talk up and argue
We are taught that being a good child involves getting good grades
We are taught that being a good child is about making your parents proud
We are taught that being a good child is to do as you are told
There are many adults who now deal with the repercussions of these detrimental lessens.
It is wonderful to consider others and their feelings and situations … however NOT at the detriment of your own wellbeing.
It is excellent to learn to listen … however not when the silence puts you in harm’s way.
It is admirable to get good grades … however not when these marks grade your worth.
It is lovely that your parents are proud of you … however this needs to exist simply because you are unique.
It is necessary for you to respect authority … however not when they are abusive and cruel.
It is not your role in life to care for others, when it is at the decimation of your own peace, strength, life path, life possibilities or the life you were born to live.
You also do not give others the ability to learn the lessons they MUST learn by enabling them.
You are unique and wonderful, Live that life, Be your own person, start NOW.
