So sorry you don't define me, sorry you don't own me

I decided something this morning.
It's probably something I should have decided a long time ago.
It's not really that revolutionary.
I decided that other people are no longer allowed to manipulate my emotions.
Especially if it's not my fault.
If I ask you something, and you make the answer awkward...
Why should I be up all night worrying about it?
If I am rejected by the world...
Why should that bother me?
I should count it as a blessing when I am persecuted.
I'm not a BarlowGirl fan, but these lyrics from the song "Mirror" were stuck in my head when I woke up.

"So sorry you won't define me
Sorry you don't own me
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try"

YOU DO NOT OWN ME.
Some people, might just be jerks.
That is NOT going to effect my daily life and definitely not my walk with Christ.
I'm done with the jerks. They're not going to define me anymore.
They don't own me.
I'm not theirs.
I'm my Daddy's. And He's got my back.
