Love is Louder...than hurtful words

The fact is, people like to gossip, it is one thing that’s never going to stop in our society. People talk about others for multiple reasons, to make themselves feel better about one’s self, to purposefully hurt someone, to look cool in front of their friends, or to just to make conversation. The question is not why people say hurtful words; it’s about what you do with the words. You know what they say is not true, the people that love and respect you know it’s not true, so take those words as praise that you are special enough that someone is thinking about you, no matter what they say, they took the time out of their day to think about you, to talk about you whether it be good or bad. You are special enough to be talked about in any content. You just have to remember that you know that what they say is not true, so you can’t let it get to you. They don’t know you like the people that love you, people are always going to talk, just take it as you were special enough to be talked about.



Why is it that I have any room to talk about this situation? This has happened to me, I too was in high school once upon a time. The night I realized I wasn't going to care anymore what people say because I know it isn’t true and they know nothing about who I really am. I was on my way to a party and before getting out of my car an acquaintance came to my door and said not to go, that there was a note on the front door stating "People not allowed in: (my name) and a few others" This didn’t really bother me seeing how the girl throwing the party didn’t like me too much, and I was only going because a few of my friends wanted to go and I had nothing better to do. As I was about to shut my door a girl who I did not know came up to my door and started chatting with us, she said "isn’t that funny how (my name) isn’t allowed in, she is such a… blah blah blah." So at this point I realized that she had no idea who I was and that I was the girl she was gossiping about. I let her go on, I decided that this would be fun, so I asked her how she knew all this stuff about “her”, and she proceeded to say she knew "her". Long story short after she was done gossiping about me (to me) she stopped and introduced herself, I then stuck out my hand to shake hers and said "hello I am the so called horrible person you speak of..." She was so horrified pretty much motionless, I laughed told my friend we were leaving and drove away. That there was the moment I realized people are going to say hurtful things no matter what we do, they do not know the amazing person you are, so take it as a complement that you are special enough to be talked about. :)
