If somebody tells you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Yeah, but that’s easy for you to say!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things you could do is agree and respond with<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Yes, maybe you’re right, maybe it’s easy for me to say. Sure. But it’s still not nearly as easy as it is to try and send me on a guilt trip like you’re doing right now.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because here’s the thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is full of victims and people who are paralyzed by fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s really not cool to feel like they feel, and live in their world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there’s also no reason why you should live there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like you don’t deserve where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like nothing bad ever happened to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like you owe them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let them deal with their own shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t fall for the blaming move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to smile no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it will fuck them up even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe they’ll wake up from their shitty thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s not your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like your life has never been theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But maybe that’s just easy for me to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
