Ah rejection.
A bitter cup to drink... more like someone throws it in your face.
I've just been told, "Leave Katherine. Get outta here. Just disappear."
And it was no joke.
Pretty darn serious.
It's like a cut where the pain comes on slowly.
Like it takes a bit for your brain to process what's just been said to you.
I've always imagined that the big lump in your throat is like a dam that keeps your tears from breaking through. Like it's groaning for the release and it's so hard to swallow!
I walked away like this person told me to. Not slamming doors or anything. Nor stomping my way out.
Just quietly... like a fading ghost.
I think it's best to walk away quietly.
One: because somehow it shows strength.
Two: because you're showing that you didn't really take it personally (even though it might seem hard to take it any other way but read Ephesians 6:12).
Three: because the quietness of your actions helps you meditate through your thoughts better without the parade of emotions trampling you over.
I'm not saying that my flesh wasn't triggered. I'm saying that you have the power to deactivate the ticking bomb. You have the authority to "cool it" and forgive, one of the most Godly acts a human can do. Yes, it's possible, because Jesus has made a way.
Colossians 3:13 "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."
