There
will be people who will bring up your past to belittle you! They will
use something that you have probably told them personally that you might
be embarrassed about to hit you where it hurts. One of the reasons why
someone may try to use your past against you is simple, “They are
envious of you and the person that you are becoming.” It’s something or
many things about you that they admire.
This person doesn’t know how to
truly hurt you, so they attack you with your past. This individual or
people may feel like they must attack you with the past because they
want to make you feel just as down and insecure as they do deep inside.
They want to make you hurt.
They want to snatch your damn happiness
because of their own insecurities.
You
know that you must keep your head up! Right? The enemy comes to attack
at all angles. Once they know that they can break you, they have won.
They do not think or would even consider their selves as a hater or
haters. They are miserable and uncomfortable with their own lives.
They
are observers and would do anything to get access to how you move,
think, and hustle. You are someone who they envy. They do not want for
others to see the goodness in you or to celebrate your come up. To them,
you are still your mistakes in the past. To them, you are still beneath
them, as if life is a competition. There’s a glow about you that they
could never touch.
They
want to see you where you were when you were living recklessly and
making reckless decisions. Trust me, they are a tad bit obsessed with
you while knowing all along they cannot stand you. Don’t ever look for
them to support you. They will discredit you while in astonishment of
your success. Continue to love yourself! Brush all the negative vibes
off. Watch the company that you keep. Be mindful of the people that you
console that you may label a friend. Everybody does not value how far
you have come and how far you are going in this lifetime. Do not be quick to them that reaction that they want.
I
have been going through this for years with a few so-call friends and family members. I’m
not easily broken. I value and understand my worth. I have never been
ashamed of my past enough to feel threatened when someone tries to wipe
my face with it. I used to want to fight. I used to want to get even and
be revengeful, but I learned to let it all go. I no longer stoop to the
level of the insecure and bothered. I am no longer the decisions that I made in my past. I own my past.I no longer raise my voice to get my point across. There’s no fulfillment in addressing people who must put you down to feel better! I continue to move with grace and you should too. My past doesn't define me and your past should not either. Keep on shining!
I'm going to leave this scripture with you as well.
Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
