Some events and dramatics took place today and made me realize that it is time to release some ties. After an explosive argument with someone very close to me, I decided that it's officially time for me to do what is best for me. I need to look after myself, by making sure that my sanity and happiness is a top priority. Sometimes that means separating yourself from a person or thing that may be toxic-physically or emotionally. How do I expect to make others happy, when I am letting myself be disrespected and walked all over? I can't.
I am trying to rely on myself, and like I said, limit ties. By that I mean financial ties or rather, anything that someone might be able to dangle over my head. I won't be manipulated by something so simple as transportation. So today, I put one foot out the door. Rather than silently sulking to myself and enabling my situation even further, I became proactive. How fetal a step it may seem, I got my own auto insurance policy. It's truly wonderful to see my name following "policy holder." While some may argue that being a policy holder on an auto insurance policy is such a miniscule accomplishment, I beg to differ. It is a step. It is the first step, the hardest step. And most importantly, it is a step towards a new beginning. A new freedom.
