Hey fearless soul, 🔥

Not every bridge is meant to be crossed—some are meant to be burned. And that’s okay. In the name of self-respect, you have to let go of the connections that drain you, the spaces that no longer serve you, and the people who only take without giving back. Holding on to what hurts you is not loyalty; it’s self-sabotage.

There comes a time when you have to stop explaining yourself, stop justifying why you deserve better, and stop waiting for someone to change. If a situation is costing you your peace, it’s already too expensive. Walking away doesn’t mean you’re heartless—it means you finally love yourself enough to stop settling for less than you deserve.

You are not obligated to maintain relationships that deplete you. You are allowed to choose yourself, to set boundaries, to say no without guilt. Protecting your peace isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. Some endings are painful, but they make space for something greater.

So if you ever feel guilty for cutting ties, remember this: choosing yourself is never the wrong choice. Let go. Move forward. And trust that the right people will respect your boundaries, not guilt-trip you for having them.
