Wobble with me

When I was little I used to love those weeble wobble toys. Yea I'm old lol. You know the ones that when you push them over they pop back up. Remember the catchy phrase "weebles wobble ,but they don't fall down". I also liked those inflatable clowns that did the same thing. You punch them and they stand right back up. 

I think about all those toys and  like to compare myself to them and how they could take a punch and still stand strong, however I see there's a big problem with them. For years I've allowed myself to take punches emotionally over and over and I would get back up again. Just like those bags I would weeble, I would wobble and I would pop right back up. The problem with that , is although I popped back  up like those toys, I also stayed put just like those toys. 

Now you may be thinking.. Wait of course those toys just stayed there. They don't have legs. They're not alive. The only way they can move is if you actually move them. But see I was acting just like the toy. I acted like I didn't have legs. Like I didn't have my own will. I just stood there. I stayed for the abuse, for the backstabbing, for the tears, for the hurt. I made a decision not to leave. 

Now that I'm growing I desire much more than a weeble wobble life. I will leave when I see something or someone is not good for me. I will no longer just stand there and take it. And I will not allow others to think just because I've taken the abuse before that I will continue to stay in that place that allows them to abuse me again. 

So if you're like me. Make sure you weeble, you wobble but you also walk away!!!!
