Being the bigger personmeans not allowing your anger to take control of you.
It does not mean you have to be happy about running into them again.
It does not mean you have to keep quiet if they start trouble.

They dont matter to you.
Youre allowed to delete someone toxic from your phone and unfriend them on social media.
Youre not immature for putting distance between you and someone who hurt you.
Youre allowed to cut people out of your world.
Youre allowed to limit the amount you see of people who only cause harm, heartache, and stress.
Getting into a screaming match with them?
Getting revenge on them?
Sometimes, the strongest thing you’ve got the option to do is leave.
Your circles are going to overlap.
Your paths are going to cross.
When that happens,being the bigger personmeans dealing with your interactions calmly.
It might even mean turning around and physically walking the other way, refusing to engage with them.
Being the bigger persondoes not mean you have to stick around when youre feeling uncomfortable.
There are people in this world who are going to hurt you.
You dont have to be friends with them.
You dont have to hang out with them.
You dont even have to look at them.
