Depends on the intensity of the situation, of course. But protect your peace at all costs. People are intelligent and know when they hurt people, even if it’s just a residual guilt. If they “need to explain their side,“ nine times out of ten they will gaslight you. Trust your gut and don’t fall for mediocrity.

i have been in situations where it felt like i needed to be the better person for others to think im not hurt. times when i needed to be around people who hurt me really bad in life.
what i learned from that is, some people will never do you dirty again. others will 😂 and when i catch who will hurt me again, i keep them at a distance and don’t invest energy into maintaining anything.
forgiveness should not be guaranteed, and its difficult to have people come in your ear to say you need to forgive in order to move on. no you need ti just set boundaries around people who hurt you and move forward with it. there are so many people back in my college days where mutually things were so bad. will i apologize and forgive them? probably not ill just distance myself from those people and they become an afterthought.

yes, that’s my recommendation, no more compassion, no more second chances.
We are all adults, and everyone is AWARE of what they are doing.
First mistake will be the last one, cut them ties off, set boundaries, be assertive, show them that their actions have consequences.

this might be pessimistic, but i think i’ve finally learned this lesson…
if you can recognize icky behavior in other people and leave at that first sign, you will have significantly more stable, meaningful relationships of any kind.
do not rationalize their poor behavior and give them the benefit of the doubt. move on.
i wish i started doing this sooner.

Working out is a proven dopamine booster. Why not maximize your slay and exorcise your inner demons while at it? Maybe cry a lil? You will feel better.

PC Music prodigy Namasenda deserves all the flowers in the world. Her electronic exploration on 2023’s “Ambrosia” EP is transcendental and 2021’s “Unlimited Ammo” LP is a shelled-out banger! Take this as a universial sign to dip your feet into some new candy-colored synths. Thank me later.

Visully Stunning. Audibly redundant. There are other Gaga masterpieces to go around.
