When Kindness Hurts

Being kind has brought me more pain and agony than anything else in my life.

Feasting on: Not Every Wound Is from the Enemy by Emmybels


And her title demanded my attention. Then her subtitle demands I pay attention while inspiration, truth, and pain fed my body, mind, and soul.


Sometimes, the sharpest pain comes from the hands you once held in trust. — Emmybels


And millions of us are living with this pain.


I never imagined the deepest betrayal would come from the people who once rocked me to sleep. — Emmybels


The image below represents my heart and yours.

This is the place I came from for the first fourteen years of my life. I learned cruelty and hate from a mother who couldn’t love me. I paid for what my father did to her. Hatred and cruelty are taught to us as children through the actions, treatment, choices, decisions, and intentions of family. We don’t give our enemies a chance to harm us. I want kindness, so I give it. I won’t stop being kind, I just learn to use common sense with it.


But this is how I saw the world to survive in it without hatred and thoughtlessness. — Annelise Lords

I must be able to recognize the good in our world to add my best to it, never my worst.


We live in a world that demands caution, where trust is not given, but earned through blood and bruises. A world where love wears a mask, and kindness is often a setup. It’s no longer strangers we fear the most; it’s the ones who know our middle names. — Emmybels


I don’t create enemies because I’m bad. I collect them from my good intentions and kindness. What a horrible world we live in, when we are punished for being kind. That pain will force us to see the world as something ugly, preventing us from adding something beautiful to it.


This is how I see the world, because #Iintend2survive no matter what!

It used to be that family meant safety. Now, family can mean survival of the fittest.

Your pain is not an isolated case; it’s the quiet anthem of this generation. — Emmybels


I have been used and abused by my family because we were indoctrinated that family is first. Despite the cruelty and thoughtlessness, they return for the love and kindness they received.


The world is broken. But that doesn’t mean you have to be. — Emmybels


The world isn’t broken; it’s the cruelty and thoughtlessness in the hearts of many humans that are broken beyond repair. Humans are the ones who are broken. This is the world I want and have created for myself. Annelise Lords

You are allowed to feel the pain. You are allowed to cry. But don’t let the wickedness around you turn you cold. Let it make you wise. Let it make you alert. Let it make you intentional. — Emmybels


Damn right you are. Learn from them to be and do better than them. Their lives are manuals on what not to do. Their lives are what history is made up of.


So if you’ve been betrayed, broken, used, or wounded, this isn’t your end.

It’s your awakening. — Emmybels


Triple, triple, triple, triple bbbeeeaaauuutttiiifffuuulll. Every negative hell they put you through, life lessons are in it. Learn from hell how to stay in heaven. — Annelise Lords

If your heart could speak, what would it say?


Create the heaven you want on earth? This is another one of mine.


Thank you for reading this piece. I hope you enjoy it.
