Humiliation.

As humans, we all go through some very tough things. Some worse than others, but pain still exists. Wether you are humiliated because you were called out on something you were doing, or wrongfully humiliated, it never fails to hurt. A lot.

Me, as someone who has experienced this... A LOT I am telling you, although it may hurt, the thing that will heal you is how you handle it.

Yes yes I know, "how you handle each situation is key" is something that we are told all the time. But once you lose all your friends, get embarrassed i front of the entire school, had everything you once thought would be around forever stripped away from you, it's hard to understand how your reaction has an affect on your mind.

You feel as if nothing worse could happen... So what's the point in being the bigger person, or staying kind? You've already lost everything. You're dealing with this situation all in your own, you literally could care less on who you hurt while you are hurting.

It's so hard to be the bigger person when something like this happens. When you're "best friends" betray you. It's so hard.

The first thing you need to do... is admit to yourself what has happened. Everyone around you is talking about it, everyone else has already process what has happened.. Admit what has happened.

Once you admit you're embarrassed and stop putting on the "i don't care what they say or think, i'm fine." face, you will start healing. It is probably the hardest thing to do. To be vulnerable enough to realize that. You will probably be crying for hours, being broken. Genuinely. Shut it feels better to not put up a front that you used as a defense mechanism. "I don't care." Yes, yes you do. And that's okay.

Stay to yourself for a while. When you get humiliated, you really do find out who the real ones are. Find those people, rely on them. Let them help you. Find yourself. Go on a trip or even just go watch the sunset in your hometown. Process your thoughts and realize how valid your emotions are.

You are strong, and will get out of this very painful experience. You always feel like it will never end. But once it does, you will be high on life. You will be stronger, and know your worth.

Grow from your pain, be the bigger person. Feel your emotions. Prove to those who hurt you that you have never needed them and never will.

You will be okay❤️

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
