A Tainted View

If this is what someone looks through when they see me, I will always be tainted.

Their Rose Colored Glasses of me may have been an experience, an encounter or someones opinion……. yet and still it is tainted.

If you are putting in work to change the mind of someone who insist to view you as you were instead if who you are, you will waste your time and energy.

No matter who you marry, what neighborhood you live in, what school your children attend, how much you earn or what label is attached to your clothes, it will never be enough to change the mind of someone who is committed to keep seeing you from their perspective of who you used to be……. and stubbornly refuse to accept you for the I AM you have become.

“That’s not me anymore”…..”Cant you see I have changed”……”What can I do to prove myself to you”……..”Why do you keep reminding me of my yesterdays”.

How long will you beg for their acceptance…….and approval?

Let them keep their tainted view of you. It’s time to keep your sanity and regain your peace.

You have nothing to prove.
