lessons.

In my years of being on this earth which is 2 decades, I have learned that you teach people how to treat you based on what you tolerate. Being a woman I can say that we were not born strong (not that we are born weak but the toughness is developed over the years) yes we have our own characters but as we grow we learn that we have to develop a thick skin because we can't always sit pretty and do nothing to protect ourselves. Like a beautiful rose, we learn to grow with thorns to protect ourselves from takers. I can say that each year I double up my prize, I put my walls up higher, my skin gets thicker not because that's how I want to be but because of the way some people have treated me and made me feel. I hate to sit around and feel sorry for myself that Is one thing I will not tolerate. I believe that we are our own problems and solutions, every situation that we are in no matter how tough it is we can always find a way out. 

Some people have made me feel like I was too vulnerable so that had to stop, some made me feel like I overshared while they turned around and criticized me so now if I don't willingly tell you something about me you won't know anything and that is to protect myself. I am protecting my name and my brand, I do not feel sorry when someone treats me badly because I only get stronger after I learn the lesson and I know that it has nothing to do with me the problem is with them. If we were friends and for some reason, we're not friends anymore know that you did something to cause this, and I do not miss you. I do not have a problem with you I am simply protecting my peace, I no longer associate with anything toxic. I wish everyone the best I never had time to hate but I have time to chose who I let stay in my life and who I let in my life.
