Growing a backbone.

Mar 24, 2008 17:28

I'm making some changes. And I've gotten past the point of worrying if my decisions are good or bad, and I'm just making them.

I was told by a very special person on Easter to live my life without the words "fear" or "guilt" in my vocabulary. And I'm learning sometimes self-preservation isn't necessarily such a selfish thing, but sometimes can be the only answer to a problem.

There are a few select people I need to dissolve ties with in my life. And rather than worrying about this or that, I'm just doing it. They dont deserve to have me as a friend. Anyone who cannot have the decency to respect me does not deserve my friendship. I need to stop feeling guilty or afraid of how they may react and I need to just do it.

However, for those that have been there for me. That have valued and respected me as I've done for them, thank you. It means the world to me. And I pray our friendships will never get to a point as such has happened with certain individuals.

I've only had to end ties with... as of now... three people in my life. I hope the number doesn't ever have to go any higher than that - but if need be, well then, I suppose it must.

To brighter days, and brighter smiles.

Ja.
