Two-Faced

I asked for inspiration for the July Newsletter on Facebook - and the response was amazing. Not knowing what to choose, I chose the first suggestion. "Hmm... How to deal with two-faced people? I'm struggling..."

Dear Two-Faced,

I am so frustrated, pissed off and hurt.

How did we get here?

I really don't think I am that difficult of a person and I know I do my best to love everyone as they are. I promise that I don't need you to be anything that you're not, and I really thought that you were my safe place?! I'm pissed to find out that you are not.

I know that you only behave this way because of your insecurities; you want to belong, but you believe that, at times, you have to be everything to everyone. You know this isn’t true, but somehow that need for acceptance can really skew your view of situations. I see your beautiful soul, but I also feel deeply betrayed by your humanness.

I can't continue to have the conversations in my head with you: wondering why, reliving painful memories, trying to prove my value, etc. It is wasting my energy!

I can't change you or what happened, so moving forward, I will just be cordial. I will breathe a lot, and I will do my best to speak to your highest power so that neither of us takes anything personally.

I am also going to be as conscious as possible of my thoughts and actions in each moment, so that I can learn from this and propel into the best version of myself.

How did I attract this? What was the lesson?

Many of our problems exist after we betray ourselves. Where did things start to shift? What was it that I sacrificed for the sake of pleasing someone else, or to try to manipulate them (in my mind) into accepting me? What was I doing instead of just allowing myself to be ME? How have I revealed myself?

This experience has sucked, Two-Faced, but I am learning. I am taking steps to get clear on my boundaries, so I can teach you how to treat me. Once you are treating me the way I decide I deserve to be, the universe will echo my frequency and I know my experiences and reality will change.

Much Love,
Me
