have you ever noticed the people from your past don’t stay in your past? most especially those you wish to never see or speak to again? the ones who seem to creep up from time to time are the very ones who hurt you the most, took advantage, spit you out on the curb… and then down the road, they return. i have a hard time with wanting to forget and trust that i wouldn’t be hurt again. even though my life situation is very different now, i hesitate to trust, i hesitate to speak with or encourage in any way a person who has hurt me so deeply.

i wish i could say my heart felt safe… it feels happy yet full of empathy for the person i cannot allow back in to my life. i let the person in many times over the past years only to have the same results. i must do what i can to protect myself while finding compassion for this person. it’s a tough line.

I understand your words. In the famous words of flight attendants everywhere, “secure your safety mask before attempting to assist others.” I’m glad your heart is happy. Be well.
