this summer is all about me.
i’m extremely selfless.. and nothing has ever been solely about myself.
so. when i decided this summer was all about me.
i decided it was also all about this goal.
because in being so ‘selfless’ i realized i was also allowing people to walk all over me and treat me like i didn’t matter.
i also realized these people were my best friends.
so as hard as it was. i burned those bridges.
(or charred them, as it ended up being.)
I let them have it. I told them both I was tired of being treated like I didn’t matter, and I was done letting them walk all over me. I didn’t want to hear from them, I didn’t want them to call or contact me via the interwebs.
And they tried… oh how they tried.
But I stood my ground… and they were perplexed.
And I felt lost… like I had no friends at first. And I grew from it.
From burning those bridges, I built some new ones. Some stronger ones.
Friends that will actually back me up in a fight. Ones that will support me and hold me up, catch me when I’m falling.
And those are the best kinds.
:)
This goal… has made my life infinitely better.
it’s ongoing… but for now… i’ve accomplished it.
