Is it holding a grudge? Or Holding someone accountable?
Choosing to distance yourself from someone who has caused you pain, often comes with the notion of “holding a grudge". There’s a belief that you should forgive those who have wronged you and simply overlook their actions or the hurtful situation. But who decided that forgetting should go hand in hand with forgiveness? If it were up to me, I would reframe it as Forgive & Remember!
Leave “Well Enough” Alone
Separating yourself can be hard.
The need to reachout, the loneliness, the feeling of unfulfillment or the feeling of things being left “unsaid”. In those times of feeling like pressing send on that text; remember how you felt, after all the other times you reached out.
How did that turn out for you? Why haven't they been in touch? What do you think will happen from this new interaction? What are your expectations? Is it really worth pursuing?
