"You can choose to disrespect me but I will not give you permission to hurt my spirit."
Lailah Gifty Akita
My mind is held open for diversity and offers respect to you as a person. This does not however mean my beliefs align with yours. I expect the same in return. If critical words sting my heart, my first reaction will be to defend myself. Then the realization appears that this is your own instability causing disrespect, not me.
Your character is reflected in your dishonoring me, and it is a clear sign that my energy no longer needs to be in this scenario. I will not coverup disrespect nor will I tolerate any form of aggression, verbal or physical. I have endeavored to be a good human, and I will not give you permission to change this evaluation.
I do not need to prove my worth to you, but I will learn from this unfortunate exchange. I will use my personal strength to move forward where I can continue to grow. My inner peace will guide me to others who understand tolerance, respect, and compassion. My inner light will continue to grow attracting others who feel safe within themselves.
