Walking

One thing I can say for certain when it comes to healing  is that people will never fail to throw dirt on the process. Whether it be knowingly or on accident, others will say or do things that will cause you to immediately pause.
Provoking your hurt or anger, constantly bringing a specific painful situation up, or even just wanting to talk about a subject that makes you uneasy. Everyone isnt respectful enough to back off, and some believe it's their right to know all the details, even if you tell them that you don't want to share.

In these moments I have found that keeping things short, and sometimes even walking away is the best thing to do.
If a person can 't respect your boundaries, then you do not have to remain in their presence.
If they can't (or simply refuse) to see the damage their causing, then it's up to you to cut that short.

I guess it's really simple.
When we're moving forward, WE are moving forward on our OWN.
You have to ensure that you and God can do this together, because everyone isn't going to be willing to listen, understand, or care.

So that's who I've been leaning on.
It's been me and God, and I'm totally ok with that right now.
