you might’t lower your standards, just because you’re a little lonely.
Choosing to walk away from them wasnt a way for you to make their life miserable.
It was a way to make your own life bearable.
Troy Freyee
Its not your responsibility to take care of anyone aside from yourself.
Your happiness is in your own hands.
Your sanity is in your own hands.
They had no problem making you miserable.
Now that the tables have turned, why should you care if your absence is makingthemmiserable?
Your decision has absolutely nothing to do with them.
It might maketheirlife harder if theyre stuck in the middle now.
But their discomfort doesnt matter.
Their opinion doesnt matter.
Even if they claim they want whats best for you, they dont know the whole story.
They dont know what you went through.
They dont know how much youve been struggling.
Dont let their peer pressure get to you.
You have to do whatyouthink is best, regardless of whether anyone else approves.
Dont let someone toxic back into your world because you miss them.
There are bound to be days when you have a strong urge to text them.
But you have to remember, missing them doesnt mean you should reconnect with them.
Missing them doesnt mean they belong in your life.
You have to accept that.
You have to be ready for that.
You cant lower your standards, just because youre a little lonely.
But dont assume everything will be okay, simply because a few years have passed.
If theyre still the same person, youre going to get into the same fights.
Youre going to have the same problems.
History is going to repeat itself.
Nothing is going to change.
just, dont let someone toxic back into your world when you know their presence only causes you pain.
Dont let someone toxic back into your world when it was hard enough to say goodbye the first time.
