Embrace the people who matter, Let go of the ones who don't

my trick with hurtful people is to take every situation with them as though it is your first meeting. It is an evolutionary trick that we feel more protective and accepting of those we have already formed bonds with. Try to step back and look at them as a stranger again.

this goal is easier said than done.
got the first part down,
but sometimes it’s so hard to let go of someone…
even people that seem to hurt you the most.
definitely not there yet :/

Yeah, I’ve been told by the people who matter to me, that if someone makes you feel like shit, they shouldn’t be in your life. I think it’s time to listen.
