You don’t owe them your time, your respect, or an answer to their text.
You are allowed to avoid eye contact and turn the other way when you see them in public.
Dont let someone toxic guilt trip you into keeping them around.

None of those arguments should stop you from doing what you should probably do.
The blood you share or the time youve spent with this person doesnt matter.
All that matters is whether this person holds you back or pushes you forward.
Whether conversations with this person make you smile or make you want to slam your fist into a wall.
It doesnt necessarily mean that theyre a bad person.
It just means theyre bad for you.

And if you love yourself, youll let yourself end the door on them.
Youll give yourself the freedom to live without them.
It might be hard to do that.
But if someone is toxic, you dont owe them anything.
You dont owe them your time, your respect, or an answer to their text.
You dont have to include them in your life anymore.
Some people might call you a bitch for putting yourself first, but its the healthy thing to do.
You tried for long enough.
And now, its time to let go.
You are allowed to say goodbye to someone, even if you still love them.
