It starts with a small thing, maybe they admire how you dress or what you drive. Then it turns into going with you places to see where you shop or who you hang around. After a while it is a fun blown COMPETITION. We’re talking about disrespectful competition. To the point that they start telling people you are copying them. These backstabbers, betrayers, fraudsters and liars are trying to take the life you have and make it their own.

Soon you find yourself questioning what you did to make such a simple life you had become the talk of the town. Why are people comparing you, telling you things you never cared about and including you in things simply to get a reaction out of you?

This happens to so many of us strong, motivated, inspiring people. Everyone see’s something they like on someone else and buys it. That is normal. BUT, when you have someone in your life buying the same appliances, clothing, cars, cell phone, and then starts to steal your friends it becomes an all out war. Let’s just say your real friends will not have it and you have nothing to worry about with them. However, if you have friends or family that begin discussing you in a negative light while your not around to this person you start to see the true strength of your relationship. People you have confided in for years begin to crack and join forces with this speck of dirt that wants to be you. People who call you on a regular asking for advice, money, friendship and love.

You are hurt, respectfully, as you should be. You have been living your life to the fullest and doing things that genuinely make you happy and other people have an issue with it because they can’t or won’t do it. They want to destroy the light inside you because theirs is dim. They have no idea the fight you go through daily to maintain your complicated life. AND, they don’t care.

They continue to demean you until they have everyone and anyone who will listen on their side, As if there should even be sides. Most of the time you have no idea what is going on. Then one day someone close to you both tells you that it isn’t because that person values your friendship and time that they call you and copy you, its because they are trying to destroy you. By the time you realize what is happening many people are involved and you are months, sometimes years behind the attack.

You though these people loved you, cared about you, supported you, when really they were using you until they no longer needed you.

It’s okay. Really it is. You are who you are and no one can take that from you. They are a cheap copy trying to be you and without the original to copy they will crumble. They won’t be able to dress like someone they can’t see, buy things they never see you have, get advice or do anything like they did before without access. Start releasing and realizing. Releasing those who knew and never told you, those who joined forces for your attempted downfall, supported the speck of dirt and/or created any negativity in you life. THEN, realize you are an amazing person who was so caught up in being you, you didn’t pay attention to the nonsense. Realizing that no matter who tries to be you, you are the original. Realizing that life goes on when you cut people out of your life. Realizing that everyday is a new beginning all you have to do is take it. You did nothing wrong, accept allow people to be apart of your existence and they took it for granted.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Embrace the journey and continue being you no matter how many people try to destroy that version of you they admire so much. You will find that when you maneuver instead of fall, people will start to act funny, tell you that you did something wrong or are different, but in reality they want you to become the sad, bitter, destroyed person they are. You don’t even have to tell them you realize what happened. All you have to do is move differently. Be more you than they can handle and after a while they will understand there is NO breaking you. Grow, live, and change the world. Keep growing and inspiring.
