There are people who don’t like you…
People you have never interacted with…
And these people don’t like you because of a version of you they heard about from someone you are no longer in relationship with…
And what’s interesting about this is the fact that sometimes the version of you they describe is either a false version or a version of you that no longer exists…
I have seen that happen from time to time in my own life…
And it’s because of that revelation that I am a firm believer that you honestly need to be okay with being the “bad guy” in someone else’s version of the way that something happened…
You also need to be okay with not being able to tell your side of the story…
And I am not suggesting that it’s okay to treat people like trash… so if that’s how you get down this post isn’t for you…
But what I am saying is that there is so much freedom that can be experienced when you stop trying to prove that you didn’t… and stop trying to prove that you’ve grown… and let people who don’t know you believe whatever they want to about you…
Because if they wanted to know the truth, they would seek it out…
