You get to a certain point in your life when you realize what kind of people are harmful to your survival, your self-preservation. Every moment spent with those people after coming to this realization then becomes a chore that chips away at your very being.
Sometimes these people can be your family, and while you love them, you know that it's best that you keep them at arm's length. You know that after you've given them every chance, but every chance is turned into a game or accusation or even a misunderstanding. You give up on trying with these people because you don't see the point. You don't see the other person trying to return your efforts or affections.
Eventually, the person who is a poison in your life, the vinegar to your water, needs to be put out of your life. Maybe not completely out of your life, but out of personal affairs and decisions. Some people just don't deserve to be a part of your life.
To quote Nikki Giovani:
There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.
I love it when someone takes the words right out of my mouth.
I can't wait to be free of my chains.
