In an effort to aid and support my mental health, I’m working on cutting out people and things that are detrimental to it. This isn’t to say they are bad people, or even good people, they are just people. All flawed in our own ways, but no less deserving of love and kindness than any of us. I, however need to put myself first for a while and that means severing ties. Chances are if you’re reading this then you’re safe, either because you are on the peripheral and we are acquaintances at best, or because you read these things in the first place. I’ve told some of them I have to step back, for an indeterminate amount of time, but others I just flat blocked out. I’m not overstating my importance in their life and I hope there is little to no hard feelings but fuck it, I have to do what’s good for me. Full stop.
I guess what I am getting at is that you owe people who are detrimental to your mental health, nothing. Not one thing. Cut them off. Take care of yourself because if you can’t, then you damn well can’t take care of anyone else.
Find your Peace and protect it.
