You must learn how to close a door permanently. We are told to love people unconditionally, but sometimes we must get rid of people unconditionally, some toxic people just keep slithering and oozing in through the cracks in your resolve; they refuse to respect your boundaries. No more mixed messages, you must learn how to close a door permanently. cut and cauterize. Monstrous sociopath-like disengagement is your right, your life is worth more. Don't waste another minute. Let them say you are awful. Block, delete, and disconnect. compassion? have some for yourself! do what you must do to take care of yourself and don't you dare ever feel guilty. Cutting contact with toxic people will transform your life. At first, it feels miserable. Like you're going cold turkey from an addiction. But as time goes on, you come to discover that each passing day brings unexpected new blessings. You begin to develop self-respect, boundaries, and true friendships. Instead of running around absorbing & forgiving everything, you spend time with people who do not behave in a way that requires constant explaining to begin with. This freedom allows your spirit to thrive. Someday, you will look back and wonder how you even tolerated interacting with such unhealthy people. Your new self begins to feel protective of your old self, and that's a pretty neat place to be! #sanamusings
