It feels like you are trying to punish me for sticking up for myself.
Whenever someone hurts me, I will fight to see the situation from their point of view.
I will forgive them time and time again.
Danielle Drislane
Even if it seems like their apology is inauthentic, I will let them get away with it.
I will let myself get walked over for months maybe even years before walking away from someone I love.
It takesa lotfor me to leave.
Abandoning others is not in my nature.
It goes against everything my heart tells me.
I dont care if you are friends with them too.
I dont care if you think our fighting is childish.
I dont care if youjust wish everyone would get along.
My business is none of yours.
You have no say in my decisions.
You might have gotten misinformation.
You might have gotten half the story.
Do not batter me with cliche lines about howforgiveness is the best thing I can do for myself.
That is bullshit.
I already did the best thing I could do for myself.
I walked away from someone who mutilated my mental health.
Someone who made me question my place on this planet.
Someone who made me collapse into tear puddles.
It feels like you are trying to punish me for sticking up for myself.
It feels like you are telling me all of the hurtful things they did to me were okay.
You are never going to convince me to forgive them.
If anything, you are going to convince me to walk away from you too.
When I made the decision to leave them behind, I second guessed myself for weeks.
But itwasthe right choice.
That is why I followed through on it.
I am not taking back my decision.
I am not opening my doors and letting someone toxic crawl back inside.
you’ve got the option to call me childish.
you could call me a bitch.
My reputation is less important to me than my mental health.
Screw forgiveness.
Screw people who think they can screw me over without any consequences.
If someone is okay with hurting me, then they better be okay living with living without me.
