“Every perceived rejection and every intentional shot to my confidence from them…were all God given opportunities for me to learn to love me. Before, I never saw any other option besides hunching my shoulders and shrinking myself. But I was supposed to be perfecting my ability to arch this back. Especially since so much time has been put into keeping me in the ‘shrunken’ place. No one puts this much effort into decentering someone who poses no threat once balanced. And I have too many examples of being the beneficiary of this effort, for me to keep believing that the people around me don’t also see what God sees when He looks at me. So…I’ll keep assuming the position.”
