But, I am no longer willing to validate words that are not meant for me.

No longer to feel shame over an emotion that belongs to you, to your past— your choices.

Most of them are based off of your emptiness. Your loneliness.

I have learned over time about myself, for me too feel shame, is for to remain in the trauma of yesterday.

To walk way and not react to your empty words, is to embrace the beautiful existence of my truest self.

No more judgement.

—Linda J Wolff
