I am ruthless about cutting negative people out of my life - whether it is minimizing interactions to superficial and infrequent, or a complete excision.
I am very understanding, but when the nonsense is neverending, despite my postive support, I hit my threshold, and we're done. Yet I also forgive and if someone changes their way of being to be compatible with mine, we can rebuild the trust.
I don’t want, don't need people's negativity and drama in my life. I choose joy. I choose my peace of mind. I choose me.
