Darkness Doesn’t Need Attention
I am okay.
I need to stop letting other people’s actions and thoughts affect my soul.
My wife, my kids, and I are all happy together and growing. I need to stop letting toxic people’s words poison me.
It is amazing how other people’s lives can affect us so greatly. I can be having a wonderful day, but one hour with someone toxic can bring me anxiety and make me feel like life is horrible and hard. But it isn’t.
The words you say to yourself matter much more than the words others say to you. It sounds simple, but it’s harder in practice.
Why is negativity so powerful? Why do the ones who are full of resentment want to hurt other people’s souls?
I have many stories of times when I was truly hurt by someone’s words or someone’s emotional energy toward me when I had done and said nothing wrong.
I feel that sometimes my happiness and confidence make other people angry. It feels like they want to break me and hurt me, but when they find out that they can’t, they leave, never to return.
I have always stood up to darkness because my soul can handle it.
I have debated many people in my life, and it gets serious quickly, but no one ever yells at me or tries to fight me. They get frustrated and feel almost ashamed.
I am not sure why. Well, I guess I have a slight idea.
I believe it is because I ask more questions than I answer. Their soul starts to get revealed, and when it does, they realize they have never analyzed themselves at a soul level. I think that scares them.
They ask me the same questions, and I give them a straight answer. It baffles them. They don’t understand why I am so confident.
I have learned over the years that it all isn’t worth it.
Who cares about their darkness and their problems?
I no longer want to help them.
I am trying to learn to be quiet and move on. Focus on my soul and my family’s souls.
Before getting married and having kids, I loved talking to people deeply. I loved getting into uncomfortable conversations and trying to help people understand themselves.
Many people, of all ages and backgrounds, have come to me over the years and told me that a conversation we had changed them or stayed with them.
Now that I am 30 years old, I believe I don’t want to battle anymore.
I think it might be time for me to drop the sword.
Find yourself, fall in love, and explore life.
