The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

Your Eyes Always Watching Me

Stalker | Six Word Story | Your Eyes Always Watching Me | Things I Never Said

Your eyes always watching me

I know that you see

That I’m thriving without you

And there’s nothing more you can do

To keep me in the shadows besides you

In misery too

You hate to see me happy

But today you’ll see me free

Free to be me

About “Your Eyes Always Watching Me”:

Have you ever been watched? I have and it sucks. We all have people in our lives that don’t want to see us happy, that don’t want to see us living our best lives. If you don’t think there are people in your life like that, you may just not be looking close enough. Unfortunately, you’re always going to have haters. Whether online or in person. And that’s why you have to try even harder to be yourself. Your authentic self. And do what makes you happy. Don’t let anyone dictate how you should live your life. Live your life the way you want because in the end you’re the only one who will suffer if you choose to do what others tell you.

I didn’t mean for this “about” to become a random motivational speech. Now I’m no motivational speaker. I have a hard time even motivating myself let alone others. But I do know about haters. This poem was inspired by nosy relatives who like to stalk my social media and hate that I have a life. We all have them and honestly I don’t care anymore. I’m not ashamed to be living my best life.

Do you have any annoying relatives like that or just random people who like to stalk your social media? If so, how do you deal with it? Let me know in the comments below because I would love to hear from you. Or simply stop by and say hi!

    First and foremost, we love you and we love your blog! You got this, girl! Second, I think we have all had haters, nasty family members, etc. and it’s such a shame! Life has its own challenges, why make it harder? I have never seen the point of being nasty, when I could be kind! Several years back, we used to call it WWJD? What would Jesus do? Now, I realize that not everyone is religious, but why be unkind? Let’s just love everyone!!! Start the revolution of kindness!!!

    That’s so true. I mean there is this concept of evil eye that ruins everything. I do agree that there are people who feel jealous just because others are happy or maybe it’s their own misery that makes them hate other happy people.

      So true, the evil eye concept is something I’ve been thinking of too. Not everyone wants the best for you, usually because they’re sad or jealous.

    Cultural or otherwise, when we permit others to occupy the vital space in our minds, we must realize there is a time to evict them and do so by purging their presence. And in doing so will provide a nurturing space for our own voices, so they can rise and be heard internally to the point they can escape externally, in verbal or in written form to share truer-selves with others in the truer form of whom we were born and meant to become. Clearly you continue to outgrow the fear of others and their past.

    A long time ago I had someone tell me that I was on a game of survivor and didn’t know it. I ended up getting fired because of backstabbing and lies, but I was so happy to leave that place and it turned out to be a blessing.

    I like to think that most people in my life now are very supportive.

    I don’t know how to tell if is someone is stalking my social media, so maybe I am the stalker, lol.

      I think leaving was for the best, that sounds like such a toxic environment. My friend left her job a while back for that same reason and got another one that is better for her.

      The best way to tell if they’re stalking you is if they’re not following you but still know everything you post. Lol, maybe so.

    This line, “You hate to see me happy,” is an important dynamic. My father hated when I succeeded. I once brought home a composition from school that got an A+ and he read it and told my mother that “He couldn’t have written it — he must have copied it.” He hated that she was proud of me. On the other hand she was a toxic optimist and praised everything. It was great & it was worthless. My relatives stopped because they’re all dead now(my parents and their siblings due to old age.)

      I’m sorry to hear that, it sucks growing up like that. Your family is supposed to have your back and it hurts when it’s the opposite. And toxic positivity can be just as bad as the negativity from my experience too.

    I tend to think there’s less “haters” than people who maybe don’t have emotional health and it’s easier for them to push others down than raise themselves up. From this aspect, it’s good that they are watching you… as you can demonstrate hope and compassion – for yourself and others – they may find a way out of their own struggles.

      I agree that a lot of people push others down because they’re in a negative place themselves and don’t know how to process that. But for my more negative relatives I’ve realised they don’t learn or try to better themselves, they just hate on people that are happy (not just me but a lot of people) so I ignore them and keep my distance. It took me a long time to finally be able to be myself and like myself, I don’t like anyone messing that up for me.

    What a creepy, dispiriting experience to be ghosted and for especially terrible reasons.

    Yes, I can relate to this. Moving back where I grew up 6 years ago bc my mother was dying and then getting stuck due to covid has me living amongst very religious and judgmental people-many family members. I have lived my life so differently than them and I almost never feel that they’re cheering me on but quite the opposite. Anyway, thanks for writing this and for the motivational part.😊

    It is sad how people in your family hate on you because they are not where they want to be in their life. You keep being your authentic self and don’t worry about those type of people. I have been going through this all of my life. I know it hurts because family is suppose to be proud of what you do, but it is sad that they act the way that they do. Sometimes your haters can be right in your own home. I know from experience. I like your poem. It speaks volumes. Again, we have your back. Keep being the inspiration that you are.

      It’s definitely sad, if they spent that energy making themselves and their lives better it would help them so much. But instead they choose to use it to hate on others. It really does hurt but I think eventually we learn to ignore the toxic people and live our lives regardless of them. Thanks so much, I truly appreciate the support.

    I like to watch people going about their daily lives and speculate about what those lives really are and whether they are happy. But I know you are referring to close supervisory watching by snoopy people. Provided it is confined to watching I have no problem with them watching me but if its about giving unwanted advice all the time that’s another matter and they will soon know they need to move on. 🙂
