Ever had a conversation with someone, only to realize you're a lead character in their story — one you never auditioned for? You're going about your day, minding your peace, when suddenly… boom! You're hit with the emotional sting of a scene you didn’t even know was being filmed. You're a part of their epic drama — not as yourself, of course, but as a caricature. A role they created, scripted, costumed, directed, and edited. Complete with dramatic theme music, bad lighting, and plot twists rooted in old wounds. And just when you think the credits might roll… they rewrite the script. Again.
Each interaction becomes a new episode, loosely based on fragments of who you used to be, remixed with projections, assumptions, and fears. The storyline shifts depending on their mood. The villain? Oh, that’s often you. Whether you show up or not, you're in it. A star in their mental reruns. It’s mind-boggling.And soul-draining. Because here’s what most don’t realize:
Fear is the executive producer of these stories. Fear of being wronged. Fear of not being loved. Fear of confronting their own shadow. So instead, they turn you into a mirror. A scapegoat. A symbol.
And if you're not careful — if you take the bait — you’ll start playing the part.
🎭 But What Happens When… You Don't?
What happens when you refuse to be the antagonist in their self-made drama?What happens when you call your essence back home? Something radical. You become free.
See, they only need your passive agreement. Your silence. Your subtle guilt. Your participation through over-explaining, defending, trying to make peace. But when you step out of the story — when you stop breathing life into their loop — the entire production falters.
Their pain isn’t really about who you are now, but about the memory of who you were then… through their eyes. Not your truth. Just their version. And if they insist on keeping you frozen in a role you no longer play? Let them. That’s their sequel to suffer through. Not yours.
✂️ Cut the Cord — Ritualistically.
Let them have their scripts, their sets, their mannequins. You? You walk off the set.
Rebuke the fear of not being liked; of being misunderstood; of needing approval to be at peace. You don’t need to correct their narrative. You don’t need to make a cameo.
Your healing is not dependent on their clarity.
🎙️ Create Your Own Story
Let your story be honest, alive, messy, beautiful, evolving. Cast characters who uplift, challenge, and contribute to your intentional growth. Let the scenes reflect who you are now — not who you used to be in their wounded memory. And those who keep summoning ghosts of your past? They’re interacting with a version of you that only exists in their imagination.
Let them.
Just don’t go back into the haunted house to prove it’s empty. That’s fear’s game — and you're no longer playing.
💬 Say This With Me:
“I no longer subscribe to recycled suffering.I no longer audition for roles I didn’t write. My storyline is healing, truth, and love — produced by freedom, not fear.”
I’m sorry — well, not really — that some people choose to build entire productions around resentment, shame, and guilt. I’m not available for that matinee.
I choose truth.I choose flow.I choose luxurious peace.
🧘🏾♀️ The Vow:
"I vow to embody a life of forgiveness, authenticity, greatness, focus, clarity, and purpose. To write a story that doesn’t hinge on who abandoned me, misunderstood me, or blamed me. To bless those still casting old versions of me…And walk on."
Because this life — my real life — is not a performance. It’s my masterpiece!
