No because it's the way that He literally makes me a better person. Without Him, oh my goodness y'all I'd be a mess
-
The Lord said "vengeance is MINE" and ain't that the truth
-
Somebody did me dirty? Normally I'd be all salty and hnngh but with Jesus he gives me the strength to forgive and leave it in his hands. He gives me patience and love for others that I could not do myself
-
Jesus ate with sinners and he washed feet. He humbled himself before others and, even if he didn't agree with them, he showed them his love and kindness. I can only ask that he gives me the strength
-
But also there is a time to leave it in the Lord's hands. Like I very recently ended a friendship of like two years with someone. They constantly picked fights with me, cussed out and yelled at my friends, was ALWAYS the victim no matter what, got mad at every little thing that didn't go her way. Not to mention she's a WHOLE ENTIRE ADULT and treated me weirdly when she found out I was Christian
-
Like I forgave her, stood up for her, defended her, and all she did was consistently hurt me and make every space we shared negative. It felt strange but it is so so freeing to cut ties with people who treat you like garbage and expect to be treated like royalty
-
I did my part and I am finished with walking on eggshells around her. There is no end to her nasty behavior and I hope that one day the Lord can give her healing and peace, and that he might give me the heart to forgive her for all she's done. But I'm a child and it is not my responsibility to coddle a grown adult. It feels like a weight lifted tbh, especially since almost everyone who knows her + me is on my side
-
I genuinely hope that she can see how harmful she has been though because it seems like she genuinely believes that we just "abandon" her when really she drives us away every chance she gets. I'm also concerned for her young friend, who seems to be getting similar treatment and with whom she seems very attached to
-
But anyways I do not regret my decision in the slightest and wish her a changed heart so that she might build genuine connections and live a good life because I really did care about her and still do a tiny bit
-
However just because I wish her well does not mean I'm obligated to keep her in my life, or that I forgive her verbal abuse. That will take a long time, especially because she doesn't care who she hurts. Her life is in God's hands and I am relieved of the burden of our relationship
-
My ears are actually going to be destroyed by this infernal sound WHY IS IT SO NOISY
-
This environment can be so unwelcoming, especially to newbies because we're all jaded from the trolls
-
Honestly I'm grateful for the friends I've made here and I wouldn't change things if I could because of that, but sometimes I wish I'd never been through all that even for their sake
-
The struggle was worth it for the very few genuinely close friends I've made on this site but I really wish younger me hadn't had to go through such absolute hell
-
Gonna b completely honest but middle school was probably some of the worst years of my life and even though I complain abt high school, life is so much better now
