...to thank you all individually will only give me finger cramps as I am on Facebook using my smart alec phone, I dont have a computer so Ill do this unilaterally...sometimes in this life, people will come into your life for various reasons, friendship, coworkers, neighbors, classmates e.t.c., and it is from these relationships that we learn, learn to love, learn to accept, learn to define what we will and will not tolerate...I am flesh and blood, a sinner from the moment I knew right from wrong and Ive spent my life learning (or not learning more often than not) and dealing with the consequences of my actions...as have we all...my story is no more important than each of yours...in the Fall of my life, Ive been trying to correct my wrongs, be someone my parents can be proud of, grow, better the world rather than destroy it...and in doing so, Im undoubtedly going to meet, know and have to deal with people that are toxic and unhealthy for me to be around...how we deal with these things is just as important as how we deal with the good things that come from our relationships...and with the advent of social media and our ability to be in contact with those weve lost track of, went to school with and have around us daily, the responsibility to maintain those relationships is still the same as if they never left our sides...sometimes we have to let go of people who no longer serve to be positive influences, live in angst and anger, desperate to bring you down to their level and as I continue my life on this planet, I am learning to say no, I wont tolerate your behaviour and I let them go...it doesnt mean I dont love them or care for them, but it means that I love myself enough to not allow their influence to affect my growth, no matter how little or much I am doing so...my personal belief is that one day we will stand before our Maker and be judged based on our deeds and my life is ticking ever so quickly away and I have decided that I wont be able to have every single person I meet in my life like me or respect me or understand my struggles and pain...and in this vein I did what was best for me and my journey...my pattern growing up had been to want everyone to like me, but that just isnt how life rolls...and if I have to walk away from someone, whether it be a sibling or a schoolmate, I will do it for my own good...I cant be a good example if Im setting a bad one...thank yall for listening and expressing your concerns...time to move on...
