Cutting Them Off

 Idk.  Lots of people are talking about cutting off folks and moving on. I get that when you're around toxic people. I get it when there are individuals or groups that are not good for you. Everyone isn't your friend. Someone or many could be using or abusing you.   However, pulling yourself away so you don't have to be held accountable or "have people in your business" isn't a reason to cut people off.  Some people pull away because of someone else. Some cut off because they rather be alone and do their own thing.   There are just so many posts about changing it up and being by yourself. However, then we have people struggling mentally and feeling alone. *Please note, I know there are other reasons for that as well.   What happen to keeping a solid group of friends in your life? What's going on that so many have to cut ties and move on from people after so many years?   Just seems like there is so much hurt or misunderstanding. Also, seems like some people don't want to have real friends, just those who are for entertainment and puff them up. They don't want to have accountability, but want accolades and approval whether right or wrong. If you got poeple who only know so much about you, then limited access or knowledge means you can do whatever, whenever without muchsay so.   This is just one perspective. This isn't towards anyone specific and again, I do get that what I'm talking about is circumstantial. It doesn't necessarily apply to those choosing to make this year about starting fresh being around new people. Sometimes, you have to let go of people. Sometimes, you're meant to move on and forward. I've done it, so I do know. It's hard and sometimes it hurts or it's freeing and you're ok about it.   However, if you're blessed with good people in your life  and hopefully ones that care about you, don't let anyone or anything pull you away from them. If something is an issue, work to resolve it and reconcile. It's possible. God knows who's needed in your life and vice verse. Do think carefully about your support system and those that should be a part of it.
