It can be a scary road when you realize the people you thought would always be around aren’t. The people I thought I couldn’t imagine life without are becoming and will become distant memories. People I literally still love no longer have a place in my life. I have been at fault for years.

Everyone should expect to be treated how they want to be treated. We all have different expectations for said treatment. What I want will always differ from the next person and vice versa.

If I can’t treat someone how I want to be treated I need to remove myself from their presence. If I treat someone poorly then I applaud them for removing me from their life. Someone can only express so many times how another’s actions hurt them, apologies only go so far. Actions or lack there of only go so far. I understand this now more than ever.

My life. That’s the focus. Again my mental health is very important to me. I’m still healing. Facing myself. Presenting myself to this world. This is me.
