I Am Not a Victim

a palindrome by Krista Meadows

I am not a victim of life.

Or my mind

Or my emotions

I am not a victim of other people’s moods.

Or emotions

I am not a victim to change.

Or heartache

And loss.

This is life.

We must control our own mind.

We must regulate our emotions.

Be mindful of people’s moods and try to not take them personally.

Be sensitive to the emotions of others.

Emotionally and physically.

But too many exposed raw nerves is an imbalance.

We must commit to finding healing first, then deal with the pattern second.

Tiptoeing around the moods of others is an imbalance.

Accountability is part of the balance.

Begin with your own.

Self-Accountability vs Accountability between Others-

Be accepting of any known consequence that may come as a result of making mistakes.

Improve from any unknown consequence that came as a result of making those mistakes.

Figure out how our own morals weigh with/against the consequences of

our mistakes.

Try not to repeat the same mistakes once we find balance within our answers.

At some point, I owe it to myself to stop and feel the way I would feel if I truly believed that things were going to be OK.

Because what if they are?

I need to be OK for my own health either way.

I really hope it will be.

“OK” is balance.

Balance is “OK”
