It’s Okay to say NO
Staying around something that makes you feel like sh*t until you’re able to tolerate it doesn’t yield any accolades. It just means you’ve gotten used to having a stress response.

On Endings…
On endings: “It didn’t work out, I wanted this to work so badly!” “Maybe I should’ve tried to ____ or _____ or _____” (cue imagining doing a thousand things differently, welcome to emotional torture) It did work.
