But I wanted to tell you something that happened yesterday.
I had a kinda weird day yesterday. You know those days where Satan is really fighting you?
Since I have had my page I have only posted pictures of mine, that I have taken and edited. I don't post anyone Else's photos. The other day I considered putting a watermark on my photos. So people know that to get more content like that, they can check out my page. But I thought, who is really going to steal my photos? I mean I think they are good, but why not just share them? So that was the end of it.
That all changed yesterday evening. A mutual friend of mine and my husbands stole my photo.
I had invited this person to like my page awhile back and I had been posting the same photos on my profile. So when my husband was checking his news feed last night he seen that this person had posted my picture! I was flabbergasted. I couldn't believe it. They didn't share it, either. They literally had to download it from my page and then upload it to there's. Now why would you go through all that trouble when all you had to do was click SHARE? I don't understand it. My first conclusion was basically that she just didn't like me. I have never even had a conversation with this person. Its insane. Although they have made numerous back biting, self righteous comments on my posts.
So that is really the only conclusion there is. They share pictures all the time, so there is no way that they didn't know how to share it. I promptly unfriended them. I mean why would you be friends with someone that obviously didn't like you? I mean other than family haha.
This morning I made a watermark. I put them it on all the photos I have not posted yet.
You may say that was childish, you may say that it doesn't matter how they share it, at least they are sharing it. And I would agree with everything except the childish part.
When someone makes it that obvious that they don't like you, every time you see that person in your news feed it is going to feed the anger and unforgiveness that is in your heart. I have forgiven that person and I don't feel even slightly guilty about unfriending them.
I don't like toxic people in my life and I am a firm believer that you can love people from a distance. No reason to become toxic yourself. Love the people that love you , pray for the people who don't.
I don't know if this gave you any hope, but I hope it gives you the strength to cut ties with toxic people. Then pray for them.
Actually though if you cut ties with those people you may find that you are feeling a lot more hopeful about the future! I know, I am!!
See my new watermark?! I love it.
ps. I did download some solid backgrounds for some of my new photos! Hope you like them!!
Thank You for Visting Seeds of Hope and Praise! I pray that you leave with more hope than you came with!!
That's crazy. How did they not know that you would recognize your own work.. I mean that takes a bit of effort to "share" someone else's pictures. I am sorry this happened to you but glad you water marked your stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tina! I had really hoped it would not come to that. I mean I want people to see them and point them to Jesus.
