Years ago, I was a people’s pleaser. I always did stuff to make people happy and I didn’t really care so much about what I wanted. This stopped when reality hit me that no one really cares and most people are only around for what they can benefit from you. Once there’s nothing to offer them, they find their way out the door. Honestly, this is the hard truth and so I thought to myself, if everyone is selfish about themselves and their growth, why shouldn’t I do same for myself.
When I say the comeback this year was personal for me I really meant it. I get that having people in your life is really a good thing but I also got to understand that having good people who are worthy of being in your life is the ultimate win. You know how petty people always post about how they are planning on cutting this and this person off ahead of the new year for whatever reason they give, I took it personal this year. I didn’t post all of that last year but along the line, I started to cut people off from my life because why not. I’d like to believe the actual action started happening after the first half of the year.
It was like I was undergoing a reconstruction. I cut off people who were taking up space in my life, people who were toxic,people who I wasn’t really sure of and at some point I even cut off my junior sister for about two months so she could learn some life lessons. And the good part of all this is that, I cut these people off and never looked back. The old me would have gone back with some lame text or meme but the new me would rather count every grain in a bag of rice than reach out to such people.
As we enter into the new year, I foresee myself cutting off about one or two people because they’ve had it coming for quite sometime now. I already happen to be mingling with a very great set of people but plenty meat doesn’t spoil soup. This new year, my of my goals is to explore other stuff with new people, make new friends and also widen my circle. This I believe would be a great addition to my lifestyle as it would create some sort of balance because most of the people I hang around are mostly from either work or work.
Having people who are into different stuff would actual give me a different view to life and also encourage me to explore new stuff. Hopefully, this new year comes with a lot of adventures and happiness.
Happy new year!🎊

Well said. So you still wish like blowing knockout? I can only imagine 😂.
Anyways that’s the best decision you can make. Letting go of the toxic one and expanding that circle ⭕️. Wish you another prosperous year ahead.
I wish I could do it, actually.
Thank you. Many happy returns!
