The way certain people behave has a lot more to do with their thoughts than you. Maturity is to not engage with them when they try to provoke you. Their power lies in your response. Reject their invitation to conflict with indifference. Guard your peace. Your health is important.
There is no benefit in seeking revenge. It's like glueing yourself to a situation that reminds you of deep pain and blocks your progress towards something better. If they hurt you, leave them to karma. Don't give them room in your mind any further. Focus on healing and moving on.
It is liberating to know you are strong enough to handle the challenges of life. It is calming to know that you will bounce back if things don't work out the way you desire. No defeat defines you. No failure is final. What's meant for you will choose you.
Self care is being honest with yourself about your negative habits. It's taking ownership of your faults and growing from them. It's diverting from negative space to positive one. It's creating balance. It's watering your own garden. It's being gentle but honest with yourself.
Most of your fears are your mind going on overthinking overdrive. Life isn't as bad as your thoughts make it to be. Control thoughts and filter negativity. Tell yourself it's all fine. Keep the mind occupied with pursuing what you enjoy. Be kind to someone. Trust your power.
Life becomes better and days become lighter when you focus more on appreciating little things and less on big worries. At some point you realise that peace is more important than trying to please others. Genuine people, happy heart and good health are real luxuries.
True power is in ability to stay calm when someone tries to trigger you. If their actions and words don't bother you, they lose any power they want to hold over you. Stay unshakeable. Your indifference is the message they need.
