Just Because I Chose Peace, Doesn’t Mean I Won’t Go to War

Hi everyone! Today, I want to share something important with you. It’s about how we treat each other and what happens when we feel alone, even when we’ve tried to be there for others. I want to talk about my quote: “Just because I chose peace, it doesn’t mean I won’t go to war.” 

Let me tell you a little about my story. I have always been the kind of person who shows up for my friends and family. When they had tough days, I was there to listen. I offered my shoulder to cry on and an ear to vent to. It felt good to help them. But sometimes, when I needed someone to do the same for me, they didn’t show up. It was like they turned a blind eye to my problems. They said my issues were too heavy for them. It hurt a lot.

Sometimes, I wondered if they secretly wanted me to fail. It felt like they didn’t care about my struggles, even though I always cared about theirs. But you know what? I realized that my strength doesn’t come from them. I had to be my own cheerleader. I wanted to show my children that no matter what you face, you can get back up again. It might take time, but you can do it!

I believe that if you know where you’re going, and you keep going, you will get there. In my life, I have seen this happen. Those who didn’t believe in me before now look at me with amazement. I remember one family member even called me the devil because they thought I was the source of all their problems. But now, they ask me to pray for them. It’s such a big change!

Here’s what I want to share with you. When you’re in relationships where you feel alone, take a moment to think. Ask yourself: Are these people really my friends? Do they support me like I support them? It’s important to surround yourself with people who lift you up, not bring you down. 

And remember, don’t let what others think of you define who you are. You are strong, and you are capable of amazing things. Keep believing in yourself, no matter what others say. You are as strong as you believe you are!

So, if you find yourself in a tough spot, choose peace, but don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself when needed. It’s okay to go to war for your peace and happiness. Keep going, and don’t let anyone dim your light! You got this!
