"Cutting Ties" by Dar Freeland

The recognition appears to be that they simply don't "fit" us anymore. The space is widening between us. Some with combat, some without. A question to self...why would I want to be around those who do not want to be around me? What purpose does that serve...why choose to take ownership of, then "push that boulder" uphill?
Wouldn't I rather put my energy into the authorship of a loving, compassionate, powerful, abundant, fun and engaging life?
Why not choose instead, to put my energy into relating with those who would love and appreciate and honor us both? Wouldn't that choice be more authentic and useful self care?
I will keep my eyes open today for those who would be a good "fit" for me, who sharing time with - I find I feel energized rather than depleted, and loved instead of scorned. This life is far too short, and the possibilities far too rich to be wasted on fear and apathy...so bring on those who passionately engage in the things that uplift us all. Today is a good time to allow those who no longer fit, to slip away with ease.
