One word is all I GOT ~4/12/23~

You need to know where I’ve been to judge where I’m at!

It’s so damn easy for people to look at someone and assume things about them. For example, we can see someone overweight and think we know their whole story; “They must be lazy and eat all day.” However, they could be battling for their lives and on medication that stabilizes/improves their condition, or maybe just maybe, you are seeing them after they lost a massive amount of weight and they’re still on their weight loss journey.

My goal is to keep judgment turned on me and no one else. I don’t know your story, so who am I to judge you? 

There are people that are breaking generational curses right now, and all we see is the midway point, and we are ready to judge. We don’t know where they have been and what hole they had to climb out of to make it to the point they’re at today.

We don’t know who nor why someone battled addiction, depression, or abuse. However, negative Nancy’s are quick to jump to conclusions. If you can’t be a positive influence or cheerleader, choose to be nothing. Keep assumptions, opinions, and negativity to yourself. 

The world needs fewer assumptions and more understanding. Hug someone and show love.

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

  3. I think we should simply rid ourselves of the habit of commenting on other people’s looks/bodies. We just don’t know what is going on with them or how they may be struggling!

  13. I’m terrible at noticing if a friend has gained or lost weight (unless they double in size or shrink half their size). A friend once said she had gained weight since she last saw me. I wasn’t being polite when I said I hadn’t noticed. Haha. I really don’t pay attention to these things.

  16. Fabulous reminders that speak to how we truly never know what someone else is going through and have no right to make those harsh judgments that can destroy lives . . . ❤
