I know they say sticks and stones may break our bones but words can never hurt me, but that is definitely not true. Words can hurt so much more. I have had several people say so many hurtful things over the last year both to my face and behind my back. I ended up having a breakdown last year where i started falling apart at my desk at work. What's worse is that a couple months after this happened I had a severe allergic reaction and almost died thinking that no one would ever care if I never woke up again. I went through a few months of severe depression knowing the people I trusted most stabbed me in the back and turned the knife multiple times. I would push people away before they had the opportunity to reject me. It really wasn't until I developed a good solid friendship with someone here a few months ago where we talked about the bible and they made me reflect and be accountable for certain things, but for the most part they made me feel like I was accepted and that I had an irreplaceable role in the kingdom of God. Because of their friendship and with their unwavering faith I began to trust in God again in every part of my life and was able to open up my heart again and was able to go out of comfort zone and met my boyfriend who has been wonderful to me and showed me that I was worth being loved, got an amazing job offer, and most importantly I was able to get out and meet some amazing people.

Just know that each of you are worth being loved and even though it hurts what other people say and do to you, God sees all of it and is always there to love on you, don't turn your back on him. People are human and will hurt one another, but not everyone will....friendships are sacred and if anyone is a true friend they will not allow anyone to say bad things about you or anyone you may be friends with :)

What a beautiful thing to remember. I am so sorry you went through so much pain. There are people in this world that often don't understand the harm they do or the reason behind their actions themselves. The thing I have realized in this past year is that there are situations that seem to rip our world apart but there are much more beautiful things in life that will heal us, like God's love. You seem like a beautiful soul! Thank you for posting this. :)

You are a brave lady. Thanks for writing this. I was struggling with some of the same problems you were, even the allergic reactions, and it took me, at least that's what I felt, forever to somewhat recover from that.

I also have problems with getting too close with other people, and like to just keep some distance. Also I can be very sensitive at times.

I am so happy for you and your boyfriend.

Hi there, thank you for your wonderful post. You are such a wonderful and strong person. God will never forsake and leave us. That's His everlasting promise to His children. I'm glad God brought all the right people into your life right now and you are receiving all His blessings. Tough times are not easy but those were moments God used to strengthen our faith and learn to depend on Hima and surrender all our needs into His hands. With God, all things are possible! God Bless!
