“Repeat after me: we do not beg to sit at tables we were not invited to.  We do not chase people who exclude or ignore us.  We do not seek healing from those who hurt us.  We do not sell ourselves out to get into someone’s circle.  We do not set ourselves on fire to keep others war.  We create our own circle.  We surround ourselves with only those who truly love, understand, and respect us.  We learn where to express our energy.  We remember our self-worth,” Daniel Chidiac.
