A Literal Kick in the Pants

A million years ago I broke up with a guy. He wasn’t right for me, and even in my teenagerness, somehow I knew I deserved better. It was hard – I tried to be kind and he wasn’t receptive, so when I had said all I could say and turned to leave, he kicked me in the butt.

Seriously!

At the time it felt like it was about me – I must be a really terrible person if I made someone want to kick me as I was leaving. Have you ever questioned yourself like that?

I know now how ridiculous it was for me to feel responsible – maybe at some point in your life, someone has made you feel responsible for things that weren’t about you, too?

Walking away from what isn’t right for you can be hard, and it is absolutely the right thing for you to do. How others receive you is up to them, and how they react to you when you are taking steps to take care of yourself, will validate your decision to stand up for yourself.

Focus on that, chin up and move on.
