When I began accepting

 that the people who caused my wounding couldn’t heal it, 

I dropped my unrealistic expectations and let go.

 I have finally after so many years, 

have accepted the way people are, 

and I know that it has nothing to do with me. 

People are who they are

 and accepting that

 and not internalizing it when they treat us wrong 

has been very empowering for me.
