“My only regret is that I didn’t tell enough people to fuck off”

– Anonymous

The weekend is over and a new week is already rollin. I’ve been thinking about something. I always say I don’t have any regrets but I’ve changed my mind. I have one. Do you know that feeling you get when you feel like you’ve been treated badly and you should have spoken up but you didn’t? I experienced a couple of situations like that last week and I didn’t say a single word. I just froze, my pulse increased intensely and I could feel heat spreading all over my face and my blood boiling. Only after I left the situation I came up with a million good sentences on what I should have said and where I should have drawn the line.

I hate that! I hate that I don’t speak up for myself in situations where I know I’m being treated unfairly. I don’t want to pick a fight with anyone, but I want to set my own limits for myself. I want to show me what’s ok and what’s not. Do you know what I mean?

From now on I’m going to start practicing and become better at standing up for myself. I will not remove myself from uncomfortable situations and I will find my voice and use it when I feel violated. Who’s with me?
