Treat.

There are two common theories about the way people treat each other. One says that people treat you exactly the way you treat them. And another says that people treat you exactly the way you let them treat you.

Hello all, I'm the Earthian.

Both of these theories make sense in their own ways. But I am a believer of the latter because most of the time, I really don't care how I get treated by other people. I've always had the feeling that the way I get treated by other people is exactly the way I deserved to be treated. I've been shouted at unnecessarily, fought with, cussed and sweared at and even been physically abused by people. And it always hurt me. It hurt me badly and I wanted to know why I was treated the way I was. At the end of the day, I always concluded that I deserved to be treated however people were treating me.

As I grew up, I realised something wasn't right. Because I never was the type of person that would genuinely hurt people by using really hurtful words and be okay with that. Everytime I hurt someone, I feel so guilty that eventually I end up apologizing to them. So definitely, I wasn't treated the way I treated people. I was treated the way I let them treat me and that's exactly what they did. Trear me in whatever way they want. I was made a laughing stock, people said something to my face and something else behind my back and it got to a point where I couldn't take it anymore. That's when I realized, having dignity, carrying some pride in ourselves for just being us and protecting ourselves is of utmost importance.

You are special, whomever you are. And you deserve to be treated like the angel that you are. You deserve love, respect and every good thing that comes along with it. So please don't ever let someone hurt you. Because you matter, like you always do, to someone!

Lots of love, peace.
