Goodbye
I don’t like
Who I am
When I’m with you
I tried
You still refuse
To see me
You don’t deserve
The best
Version of me
And I deserve
The family
I’ve found
Elsewhere
Who I am
When I’m with you
I tried
You still refuse
To see me
You don’t deserve
The best
Version of me
And I deserve
The family
I’ve found
Elsewhere

The last family gathering before my mother passes is this weekend. I’m going home after everyone wakes up. It will be the last time I speak with anyone. I’m not angry. I’m choosing to be happy. I cut my toxic family out of my life and then forgave them. I came to this beach house in an effort to mend relationships. They’re not my people. Toxicity has zero place in my life.

It's a hard thing to do, but you have to choose You 💕
...as you know I've done the same, cut my parents out. Recently I had to make my boundaries clear, so this piece came really really close...

Sometimes we have to learn to walk away from the negativity and drama and confusion and nonsense to get back to living in peace and tranquility 😔🙏🪷📿

Dear H,
I admire this stand and writing of how it came about. I admire even more your determination and realization of self worth. Difficult subject, families. Great writing to expel toxic thoughts. H🌷

Ooof, so much truth in this. I love that you're seeing yourself, even if others aren't. We have to show up for ourselves. Wishing you strength and peace., and the love you deserve.
