Some workplaces are not safe places.
And I don't mean physically.
I mean the kind of unsafe where you dread Monday morning. Where someone makes you feel small on purpose. Where your ideas get stolen, your name gets smeared, and you start wondering if maybe, just maybe, they're right about you.
THEY ARE NOT.
I know this because I lived it, more than once. And I am still here.
Workplace bullying is real. It is more common than people want to admit. And it leaves marks that don't show up on an x-ray.
If you are in it right now, I want you to hear this:
*You are not too sensitive.
**You are not the problem.
***You are not invisible, even when they make you feel that way.
God doesn't make mistakes. And He didn't make one when He made you.
The people who tried to dim my light? They actually did me a favor. Every time someone pushed me down, I got back up a little more rooted, a little more sure of who I am, a little less willing to shrink.
That's what surviving does. It shows you what you're made of.
If this resonates, share it. Someone in your circle needs to read it today.
You are seen. You are worthy. And you are so much stronger than you know.
Bent by the storm. Still rooted. Still here.
