Yesterday, someone said directly to me: "You're fat."
Trust me, if i report him, his account will be frozen very fast, but did i do it? No
I didn't argue. I didn't insult them back. I didn't spend the rest of my day trying to prove them wrong. I just thought, "Maybe they're having a rough day and trying to get a reaction from someone." Because people who are happy with themselves usually don't go around trying to make strangers feel smaller. The older I get, the more I realize that not every comment deserves a response. Some words tell you more about the person saying them than the person they're aimed at. I'm still going to enjoy my food. I'm still going to take care of myself. I'm still going to smile at people. And I'm definitely not going to let a five-second comment decide how I feel about my entire day. Protecting your peace is one of the best habits you can build.
