Acceptance...
So many memes I see talk about acceptance and accepting other people for the way they are. It could be for many different reasons...but for whatever reason we should all accept each other the way we are.
I agree with the concept whole heartily. But by accepting they way a person is or how they are doesn’t mean that I have to be apart of their lives. Sometimes accepting this is the beauty of it all.
I think for some there is an expectation of a relationship because of kin, time of friendship, where you both are from....whatever the connection is...there is an expectation of a relationship. Let’s take my Father for example...I haven’t spoken to him in over 20 years and just randomly before that. Just because he donated to my DNA doesn’t mean that I have to accept him in my world or allow him to affect me. I accept who he is and how he conducts his life...but that doesn’t mean I want to be apart of it...and he has to accept that.
Get it? Stop wondering why someone is the way they are...just accept it and then decide on whatever is best for you and your connection with that person. Sometimes it’s easier to approach it that way instead of trying to wrap your head around something you would never be or do.
Until tomorrow...
