Peace.

I’ve reached a point in life where I’m deciding not to associate with people who are not good for me.

There are times when I feel like “Man, I miss their energy. I miss those conversations.” I will never deny that. But… I’ve come to terms.

I understand that it’s part of human nature for certain things to come back to you and randomly pop into your mind when something unrelated event may happen.

It’s experiences that’s happened in your lifetime, you’ve seen it, you’ve been with the individual and spent hours and days with these people… Of course, there will be times when memories related to the person will pop into your mind.

What’s important is that you really see what was exactly happening throughout the relationship as a whole. I’m not only speaking specifically romantically but also in friend relationships too.

You’ve shared beautiful moments and experiences with these people. You may have gone on vacation with these people or simply just hung out and felt so free with these people. You may have felt at your peak and happiest at this time.

At the same time, you cannot undermine the things that hurt you. The things that were done that you did not appreciate. Do not allow the good memories to overpower the hurtful ones.

It’s taken time for me to fully understand this to its absolute core. To the point where it’s consistent - you need to respect yourself.

Respect your time. Respect your energy. Respect your money. Respect your feelings and emotions. Respect yourself.

Do not allow anyone to break your peace. You are the one who will be with you the longest, be good to yourself.

Take care lovelies ♥️
