My PEACE. My POWER.
Dear trolls, kindly F🪐CK OFF.
During my time on social media I’ve gone through didn’t phases when it comes to trolls aka BULLIES.
I have been through the phase where I would get so insulted & angry that I would go into a war of commenting back & forth with the troll in my attempt to put them in their place. Not recommend as you end up feeding the beast who thrives on conflict. Their lives are often so pathetic & non worthwhile that knowing they got to you, gives them energy & purpose.
I have been in the phase where my self worth, love & empowerment were rocky, occurring often due to my chronic health being severe. I would end up soaking the comment within like a sponge & further losing sight of my worth & power. Causing me to go deeper into a negative internal hell within my mind.
At this stage in my life I’m in the phase of either immediately deleting the comments to throw away that energy then & there, to coin the phase “let the shit go”. Or as I did recently, sharing the bullying comments in my story as a way to throw the bullies in the spotlight. Not because I was hurt by the comments. I was angered not for myself but for others.
If trolls are leaving comments to me, who’s to say they aren’t doing it to everyone else & getting away with it. 100% sickens me. I don’t enjoy giving my time & energy to these waste of space humans but at the same time perhaps sharing who they are & their words to which then drives my INCREDIBLE supportive community to step in to defend, will make the trolls think twice about leaving a negative-offensive comment again.
We live in a time where suffering from mental health issues is escalating. Anxiety, depression, self shaming, lack of self worth & suicidal thoughts are reaching a peak. What if a comment left from a troll be the final straw where one ends their life or ends with someone taking the lives of others? Our words despite the childhood song “stick & stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me” do HURT. Words are powerful, painful, triggering & can cause trauma.
Bullying is unacceptable in any shape or form.
It needs to end NOW.
REPORT, DELETE & BLOCK.
