Reflections: The courage to be disliked
Let’s talk about being disliked.
I used to think I can’t function where they don’t like me. Let’s unravel that. People will dislike me, many over time, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I can only ignore them and dislike them too. While living my life to the best of my ability. If you dislike me, shift, stand in that dark corner with ur darkness, don’t take the space of people who are here to pour out light on me. Don’t steal the good light from me that I’m pouring out on the people who are here for it.
You dislike me, good. Feast on that, enjoy that, but you are not my audience, you are not my target audience. My love is not for you, my goodness is not for you, this peace oozing out of me should not be wasted on you.
And do not trap me, into forgetting all of these good people with bountiful love. Don’t make me focus on rectifying your dislike. It is your problem, feast on it. I am a lovely and lovable person, these other people are not mad to choose to like me. They must have seen something, let me fan the flames of that good thing.
And just so you know, your dislike will never penetrate my skin, because all of my blood and all of my being is animated by warm love. That was what confused me, when i fell upon a person who dislikes me. I wondered, how can someone dislike all this? But that is not my problem to deal with, like I said, deal with it, feast on it.
I have a lot of love in me and between me and some other people, and I am content with that. Now, I just need to loose my fingers from holding tightly to the need to be loved by all and wrap those hands around me.
Ur dislike, none of my business. I’ve got things to do.
