Cold As Ice

There will always be people in this world who will try to steal your joy, rob you of happiness and make you feel less than good enough.  Don't empower them with your tears.  They aren't worth the emotion.  When someone hurts you, say "ouch," give them a chance to right the wrong, and if they make an effort, forgive them.  BUT, if when you say "ouch," they ignore you, turn a cold shoulder, act aloof toward you and refuse to explain why they have grown annoyed by your presence, then pick yourself up and walk away with a clear conscience and a peaceful heart.  For they don't deserve you... and you certainly deserve better.  ~
