Much Needed Detox

After a few days of detoxing from the drama in social media I feel lighter and moving forward. Although most of it is not my drama I feel it still affected me in a negative way. I felt myself having to constantly remind myself to keep my thoughts separate and uninfluenced from anything that does not equal growth. You know I thought that the poem Lake of Souls was for someone else and I was just the writer. Nevertheless in now moving forward I now realize that it was for me. No one just loses themselves overnight. It is a process of changing into someone you never wanted to be.

No To Compliments

I felt in my spirit to resist compliments. Considering I don’t like to put it on God just in case he is not in agreement lol. I know it probably sounds crazy. However, over and over I felt that I should resist compliments. You know, I thought about how can I do that; I mean you open an email and someone wants to show their appreciation. They’re not doing anything wrong; but I don’t want to be influenced by not wanting to create in the way that I feel I should. I don’t want a compliment to deter me from telling it like it is like I set out to do because I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. If I do that then I might as well stop creating because what doesn’t offend one offends another.

My Intentions

I do think about what I say and try to make sure that I don’t say anything out of pride or any negative emotions. I felt myself slipping from that in a moment of responding to criticism and venting. Responding to anything negative is something I never wanted to do. Through reflection while moving forward I realize that when I started this; I told myself to stay off of the drama side of the internet. My intention was to just watch peaceful videos about decorating and my favorite TV shows. I decided long ago that a girl like me can not handle the “healing” side of the internet. By “healing” I am referring to anything that aims to help others. Although it is amazing that people are helping others; the genuine people are few and far in between.

Weary Of Entertainment

While watching these types of videos I found myself realizing how things are really troubling to the soul. There were many people who were into witchcraft and strange things. I don’t think it is meant for us to have such great access to everyone’s world like the internet has given us. Nevertheless in moving forward, I have now decided that drama that comes through any electronic device is a choice. I have made a decision not to participate. I don’t want to skim through the pickings of who’s honest, who’s a witch, and who will say anything just to make a dollar. Moving forward no longer will my eyes entertain people wanting to torment those they deem an easy target.

Guidance

All of the guidance I need comes from the source which is the Most High. In addition I don’t want to be placed in a given role that anyone tries to give me. Quite frankly I am only a woman that the Most High can destroy and create another that is far more superior in listening to his guidance. Today in my process of moving forward; I deny the role of being anyone’s moral guide. I am just a flawed person like anyone that gives my perception of the world we live in. Honestly I try to do my best.
