Today I made the decision to block some people and delete others. Today I accepted that they decided that they could not treat me the way I deserved and while it is their choice to behave as they choose, it is also my choice to accept or not accept their decision. I use the option over priority quote on almost all of my signatures, but I realized this morning that I was allowing myself to be just an option by not blocking the things that don't make me a priority.
I realize that you do not have to accept others bad behavior towards you even if it's in the name of love. Love them from over there; because if you are honest with yourself loving them up close hurts even more, so pick a corner and love them from a distance.Yes, this too will hurt but at least you have made giving yourself enough space a priority to have the option to heal if you so chose to. Blocking and deleting is not running or hiding it is accepting that dealing with them only makes it worse and makes you weak, you need distance and time to gain your strength to face it head on when the time is right or to be brave enough to know that no amount of time invested or wasted will ever change the situation.
Today, I don't just use this quote as a closing, but as my opening to apply it to all of my new beginnings therefore I have modified to personalize for myself... I will "Never allow someone to be MY priority while allowing MYSELF to be their option". gabrielita
