BEHIND YOUR LEGS AND LIPS

I woke up today with an unexplainable urge to write this. Something inside me kept telling me that there is someone out there who needs to read this.

I started experiencing a higher realm of peace when I learnt how to use my legs and lips when necessary.

I'm writing this to two sets of people:
√ Those afraid to use their legs
√ Those in a hurry to use their lips

Why do you keep hurting yourself?
You've been attaching your life to people who talk you down. They never see any good thing in you.

"You're not good enough. You're worthless."

They keep hurting you with unkind words, yet, you remain there?

I get it, friend.
You're probably feeling lonely and want to be their friend against all odds.
NO!
Do you really deserve this?
Know when to use your legs and don't feel guilty about it.
Go to where you are celebrated and don't feel guilty about it.
Walk away from toxic people and don't feel guilty about it.

It doesn't mean you should bear a grudge but you need peace. The bitter truth is, you can never make progress in life if all you hear is negativity.

When they constantly make you feel worthless, give them a break.

Do you remember those people that make you feel great each time you talk?
Those are the kind of people you need in your life.

Why do you keep doing this?
You know he's hurt but all you do is throw harsh words at him.
She's pained and all you do is talk her down.
Have you ever wondered what he/she could be going through behind closed doors?

The movie, 3 Idiots, played in my head today. That student committed suicide because of the lecturer's harsh words. The boy began to think he was worthless and went ahead to take his life.

Haven't you realized that words are powerful?

If you lack words of inspiration to share, it's better not to talk.
Don't be in a hurry to talk because those words are not mere words.
They can make or mar that fellow.
If you must talk, think hard and be sure your words won't force that fellow to consider suicide.

Just a little smile, a minute call, a simple text, a warm hug or a paragraph of soul-lifting words can make that person's day.
Learn how to use your lips.

My heart reaches out to those considering suicide because of the toxic people in their lives. Like I said, USE YOUR LEGS as and when due. Walk away from people who do not see any good in you. You deserve peace.
You can't take your life because of them.

One more thing, be sure you are not the reason behind the harsh words you get. Ensure your character is not what's attracting the negative comments you keep getting.
