Cutting Ties

I have to say there is something so very freeing about cutting ties with the negative and toxic people in life. 
I know that seems like a stupidly obvious statement, but I know there are so many people in the world that stay in all kinds of unhealthy relationships because they are more afraid of the unknown.

I don't specifically mean spousal relationships, I mean any and all connections. In the past few months I have gotten rid of friends and even family members. Just today I finally went through my phone and deleted numbers(I had them saved so I'd know not to answer) that I haven't called, or been called by in many moons. IT WAS SO FREEING!!!!

Removing people from your life is always challenging. You worry that it'll be messy, that they won't let go. That you might want or need them later in life, or for some ridiculous reason you feel like you owe them something. Guess what! YOU DON'T!!!!

I was very blessed that my situation went smoothly. I was not expecting that at all. I was expecting threats and phone calls and "public humiliation". While we did receive a bit of those from some, for the most part they were quiet separations. I know others won't be so lucky but trust me it is worth it in the long run!

Honestly the last like 6 months of our life have really been the best we've had, and things are just going to get better form here (GOD willing). It is such an awesome feeling to wake up every day enjoying your life! Reconnecting with yourself and things you like. Not adding other idiot peoples stress to your own! Cause you know we all do it, spend an afternoon with that one awful friend who is just awful in all kinds of ways, you get home and spend the rest of your day/night thinking/worrying/agonizing about what they should do or how you could help. All the does is drain you in every way possible and they NEVER listen so why should you bother!

I feel that every few years people should sit down with a list of the voluntary people(family/friends, there's really not much you can do about co-workers :/) in their lives, and going through each and every one of them asking "What does this person bring to the table?". If it takes more then 5 seconds to think of a legitimately good quality it's time for them to go. Also if your only answer is but we've been _________ for years, that doesn't matter they need to go! Life is to short to keep people who don't bring joy or love or other nice feelings to you. 

 I could go on and on about how much better our life is but it would sound pompous and would lessen the point of my message. Really the time is NOW to clean out your life and your head.
