The older you get, the more you want peace and to be left alone - away from people's arguments, assumptions, beliefs, business, complaints, disrespect, drama, energy, gossip, lies, judgments, manipulations, opinions, projections, right and wrong, stories, and emotional baggage.
Sometimes it’s necessary to distance yourself from certain distractions in your life to concentrate your time, energy and effort on things that matter the most. Don’t be afraid to do that. Your true friends will allow you that space and respect you. Go for it.
