Be Strong

When people hurt you, it's natural to want to get revenge and get them back somehow. But it's also immature to be spiteful and do that. Even when you've been hurt, it takes way more courage, self-respect and integrity to still be the good person they let go. Being spiteful and saying things you don't mean, acting as if you don't care when you obviously still do, talking negatively about them...that may temporarily make your emotions feel better, but at the end of the day it won't heal you or your pain. So why take the low road? It can suck so much being nice and respectful to someone who has caused you pain, but you know what's making them feel better about themselves? Knowing that they're done with you, and they still have power over you. Trying to bring them down only shows them how much they still get to you. So if you don't just want to be the bigger person for yourself, at least do it knowing that that person won't even get the satisfaction of knowing how they've hurt you. And you never now who will notice how strong of a person you are for that. While you're focusing on yourself rather than revenge, there may possibly be someone better noticing the pain you go through and wanting to make you feel better because of how strong you always are.
