Trying to forgive and let go...

“It became almost a relief to be ignored, even though it was incredibly lonely. When you are abused every day, to be passed over feels like a gift. I didn’t know how to articulate my loneliness. Like when I sat alone at lunch because the other girls wouldn’t “let” me sit at their table. When I sat alone with a book at recess, the yard monitor told me, “Stop reading and talk to somebody;...

Remember when you were little and you had to line up, then people would pick who would be on their team? And you were always the last one picked while others were always chosen before you? That’s how I’m feeling now. I didn’t get picked and it hurts and stings just like it did in 2nd grade.

At least you will know you gave it your best shot. At the end of the day, whether you choose to go with it, flow with it, resist it, change it, or hide from it, life goes on. If what you did today...
