Ruth Bader Ginsburg Through the Years

A groundbreaking litigator for women’s rights before being appointed to the bench, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has worn many aspects in her eighty-five years. On the Justice’s birthday, flip through some photographs of her as a girl in Brooklyn, as a law graduate who left Columbia as co-valedictorian (but with no job offers), as a young mother, and as an advocate whose greatest legacy may be in the cases that she argued before what was then an all-male Supreme Court—and won.  (Photographs from the collection of the Supreme Court of the United States.)

do you want to sever ties or is it more of something you have to do

Both.

It’s something I have to do because I want better for myself. I want better people around me. I want people who are going to care for me. People I can trust. People that actually respect me. People who won’t make me look foolish. People who won’t make me regret giving them time time. People who deserve to be around my energy and recieve my love. And that’s in any relationship, friend, familial, romantic.

do you forgive

I think I’m a very forgiving person. Somethings take longer to forgive and heal from. Forgiveness is all about healing yourself after someone’s hurt you, I think forgiveness is the final step in the process. But all in all I do my best to put myself in other people’s shoes and consider all aspects of the situation. People are always going to make mistakes and no one in this world is perfect.

In saying that, personally for me, I learning that because I’ve forgiven someone doesn’t mean I have to allow that person in my life. Forgiveness isnt something you do for the other persons peace of mind, it’s done for yours. So you move on from the situation. And sometimes moving on includes severing ties. There’s a point where you have to respect yourself enough to walk away from someone who doesn’t respect you. (which is something that’s hard for me to do).

would you change anything? like situations and scenarios

I mean hindsight is 20/20. There’s always stuff I could’ve done differently. Things I shouldn’t have done. People I shouldn’t have let it. Aspects of my life I could’ve put more effort into. But at the end of the day all of choices I’ve made, all my of the things I’ve gotten myself into, have led me to be the person I am today. I’m finally coming to a good peace with who I am. And I try to be the best person I can be in other people’s life.

would you ever go back

only forward. i’ve spent too much time trying to fix the past. i firmly believe what is meant for me will be.
