If people think they can enter my life and casually make me unhappy, that's advanced stupidity. This is my life, I worked hard to be here and become who I am. So no, I'm not letting random chaos walk into my life and redecorate the peace I built. And even if I hadn't worked this hard, nobody has the right to create ripples in anyone's life. One thing I learned the hard way, through experience not theory, is this. If you let people do whatever they want just to appear nice and agreeable, they will destroy you slowly. Then they'll gather an audience, point füngers, laugh loudly, and somehow call it your fault. I still choose to be a good person, but for myself, not for applause, validation, or approval. In a world where fake is the new normal, I'd rather be inconveniently real. And if I can treat myself better than you ever could, what exactly do I need you for.
