Blocked

Our space is actually sacred.

Our space includes our souls.

Our physical space.

Our minds.

What makes us feel like shit should not be allowed in.

What makes us feel down-trodden, judged, threatened, like we aren't enough should not be allowed in.

And, when other people block us we should respect that as well.

We aren't perfect, either.

I was talking to my niece yesterday about a couple of kids who were bullying her last year in school.

I reminded her that she doesn't have to allow them in her space.

She told me that this can be hard when they are forced to sit next to each other in class.

She is right!

That IS difficult!!

I reminded her that she has every right to say to them, "I don't like the way you treat me. Don't talk to me. Don't talk about me. In fact, don't come near me."

And, if that person doesn't respect that then go to a trusted adult.

They don't get to make you feel less than worthy in YOUR space.
