can we PLEASE normalize leaving people to avoid empathy burnout. yes, i love you BUT i am tired of having to ask you to consider me, and i am tired of you not seeing where you went wrong.
Dear Diary..
Two things I'm NOT doing.. Teaching no friend to be a friend.. & teaching a man to be a man. If it ain't in you by now, it never will be in you!
i allocated so much importance to people who are largely inconsequential now. i'm humbled by what i thought i knew. it's almost a relief that nobody is mine. people can be encountered and embraced, but they can't be possessed. the thought of it, acknowledging it, so freeing .
My newest prayer is simple: "Lord, settle it." Settle my mind. Settle my heart. Settle my spirit.
Teach me to walk in peace instead of anxiety, and faith instead of fear.
