I like to consider myself a forgiving person. I believe in second, third, fourth, and etc chances. Basically I’ve allowed people to walk all over me and be apart of my life when I should value myself better than that. (a thread)
It’s a hard battle with yourself to truly select and deselect people from your life and move forward. It’s almost unreal taking a close friend and dropping them to a lower tier: acquaintance level.
Being at the acquaintance level you are given small talk and the ability to share my physical space (once we have shared spaces again). This means I have removed you from my trust circle and you will have no part in the big moments of my life moving forward.
You won’t attend my birthday parties, weddings, and any other celebratory event that is mine to cherish and remember fondly. I’m tired of letting people back in to later disappoint me and every fb memory seeing their faces. Reminding me time & again that I’m all too forgiving.
I’m going to leave this thread here to remind myself at the end of the day that I am allowed to let people go from my life. Just because we grew up together, doesn’t mean we’ll grow old together.
This may sound harsh & selfish but I’m allowed to be selfish when it comes to people close to me. It’ll allow me to grow & better myself. And if you make me worse, then I never should have brought you into my life at all & it’s only necessary to let you go so I can grow into me.
