I feel like now more than ever is the time to nurture relationships that actually matter and provenly so versus being forced to entertain superficial bullshit uncomfortable ones and fabricated connections just to be insulted/harassed/threatened when you don’t want to do so.
Ppl I know and don’t know are getting sick and dying. The world is burning. Systems—admittedly bad ones—are clawing for survival and crashing...but we not at the place of a new world yet and that middle zone is hell.

And in all this...I should entertain bad relationships? Why?
If the world crumbling isn’t sufficient enough to put even the smallest aspects to the largest aspects of personal life into perspective, nothing will be sufficient. For me it’s making me reevaluate (I’m always evaluating tbh; Virgo power) what I offer and need in relationships.
(When I say “relationships” that’s a word referring to multiple types of connections with other human beings for fulfillment. I am not talking about men™️ in a dating context just because Twitter is a heterosexist space and responds to BW with compulsory heterosexuality.😪)
But anyways tho...why the original thought/tweet came to mind:
This came to mind as someone who emotionally harmed me 6 years ago, apologized & I forgave then. They did it again 2 yrs later; I kept my distance. They apologized (again) this year; I said thank you for acknowledging error...I’m not interested in pretending it’s 7 years ago tho.
So what happened after recent apology? They violated everything they said they wouldn’t do again. Cornering, unwanted interaction etc., lying on me to others etc. I honestly laughed. They couldn’t abide by *their own* standards they said in the apology, let alone anything I said.
I laughed. Deadass. Sometimes people are so toxic that it genuinely amuses me. After rage comes humor. So I reminded them of *their own words* they went back on and wished them well and went on about my life.

The world is literally burning. No one has time for interpersonal BS.
This person think ima spend this precarious time in our world, playing games with their toxic ass, at 41 years old? Man...galang.

This time putting things in perspective. I suggest folks examine what that means for them. I know what it does for me.
