I've come to a point in my life where I need to make a choice. Things can't stay the same forever and I've got to make positive changes to become the person I want to be. For so long I lived my life afraid of hurting someone's feelings while I sat back and had mine hurt time and time again. No more. I am done being a doormat. Done being used. Done being unappreciated.
I've decided I need to cut a lot of people out of my life. Some of these have been a long time coming. These unhealthy relationships have been dragging me down mentally and emotionally and I'm tired of it. Just because we're related, doesn't mean I want to be your friend. Just because we're "family" doesn't mean I need to know you. Just because we've known each other for many years, doesn't mean I have to know you forever. Just because we used to be best friends doesn't mean I need to accept your bullshit. The thing is, the people I'm cutting out are not people I'm interested in ever having in my life again. I've made a choice and I choose ME! I'm done being passive aggressive Jenny. I'm Going to be assertive and take care of me. I'M NOT LOOKING BACK!
Let the mother fucker burn.
A little side story to some of the people I've cut out that I feel is very important:
One of the things that bugs the crap out of me is someone telling me that I'm wrong because I don't agree with them. That's such bullshit. Your truth is not THE truth. Mine isn't either. Our truth is our opinion (unless you can show me some unbiased FACTS). I understand that, others need to too.
I'm not a very political person. But I am a patriotic one. I feel blessed to be born in the USA. I am free to have and express my opinions. I am free to be me. Some may not like my tattoos, my beliefs, my choices...but I'm FREE to have, be, do it all! While our government is not perfect, there isn't one that is. In four years, we have the right to vote on change. It's beautiful! There are people that live in this wonderful country that don't appreciate all that they have...they proudly shout that they HATE America. To them, I say, if you don't like it here, GET THE HELL OUT! You are not wanted here. ESPECIALLY those that are living entirely off of our country/state. You disgust me. You accept food stamps and free medical and you're collecting social security that you don't deserve. My husband has worked his entire life and spends more time at work than at home...when it's his time retire, he won't be able to because although he's paid in for 50 years, his share will not be there for him. All because of people that WON'T not CAN'T work to earn their keep. It makes me sick. There are people that ARE willing to work for their piece of the pie. If America was so bad, we wouldn't have people coming here from all over the world to live. I have heard horror stories of life in other countries. I love this melting pot. The different cultures we're exposed to. We are all a product of another place and time that came to be free in the new country. We are living and learning and evolving as a nation. America, land of the free and home of the brave, imperfect though it may be, it is my home and I am grateful for the life I have here. Thank you to the men and women and service animals too (Police, Firefighters, EMT, Military etc.) that serve our country to keep us safe and free.
