My Life

Awareness

Mar 29

The struggle is real.

To live my life the way I choose.
To not answer to anyone.

I will do what is best for me.

Even if that means removing toxic people from my life.
I don’t care whether you are friends or family.

If you are toxic, you are no longer welcomed in my inner circle.

At some point your actions have crossed a line
that I will not allow to be crossed, ever again.

If it was a mistake
if you have made effort to change
I will work with you.

However,

Many have crossed the line
knowing full well that they were in the wrong.

I may have allowed it to happen before,
but not anymore.

I’ve learned to value my peace and sanity.

So long and farewell to your toxicity.

You are now denied access to my life.
