The only people who get mad at me lately for speaking my truth are those I learned that are living a lie.\u00a0 I will keep telling my truth without needing to prove myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A relationship close to me is teaching me great lessons. I have learned a lot about this person by how they leave things. There is a pattern. For me, maturity, mutual respect, and reverence aren\u2019t always possible but are available. I am doing the best I can considering the circumstances and walking with peace, knowing I did speak my truth and will not disrespect myself for the sake of the other person, even if it\u2019s a family member; too many years of accepting the behavior and letting it slide knowing it did not sit right with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have buckled down on my boundaries as a form of self-love and reminded myself that time is valuable and my feelings are valid. Those who love me will respect that. Being at peace for me means I no longer need to prove anything to anyone. Whether I speak my truth or not, I no longer need outside validation to tell my side of the story, even when I hear rumors that tell an untrue version. I used to guard my heart, but now I guard my peace because I truly know my peace is worth more than proving myself to anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
