You know that feeling? 😮😨😭😭😖😖 ...when you find out someone did you wrong, like really wrong. Either betrayed you, or abandone

Someone I cared about and invested my time and energy into, turned right around and spread lies about me and tried to sabotage my efforts. Not gonna lie, it hurt. And I spent 5 minutes in confusion... Why would they do that? Don't they know how much I helped them? Don't they care? They do. Here's the thing though... It has nothing to do with you. It never did.

AND I've learned a few ways to deal with it, some healthier than others lol!
"when you are immune to the opinions and actions of others,
you won't be the victim of needless suffering." - Ruiz
The next time someone does you wrong, look up to the clouds for a reminder. It has nothing to do with you... and feelings come and go like clouds on a windy day. 💚
