I was bullied in middle school, in high school, a little in college, and a little after college.

There are not many lower things than making yourself feel better by making someone else feel worse about themselves. I have to check myself and have resolve because it is infuriating dealing with demeaning people. It does make marks on your soul. I've had trust issues for a long time because of the bullying I've experienced.

Suck it in, raise your head, carry on, and keep walking. You are a better person for carrying on. What goes around will come around.
