People respect you more when they don't see you often. Even parents. Trust me. It's strange how distance rearranges love, how absence restores what closeness erodes. When people are deprived of your presence, they start seeing you clearly again, not through habit but through awareness. Proximity dulls perception. Space sharpens it. That's just how the human mind works.
turns out going monk mode for six weeks and doing love activities and beauty rituals and getting rid of tons of stuff and sobering up and eating whole foods and being surrounded by people you adore does fix your life
