Bridge BurningCategories: Life in progress Alchemy
There comes a time in some relationships when you have to make an end to them. Ending it is a hard thing to do. Generally you have to give up the role of the good girl, and be the bad girl for a change. Kali is an interesting mask to wear for a while.
I ended a relationship with an old friend last week, and I did it really badly. Really embarrassingly childishly. Im disturbed by it, and by my clumsy actions, but I have no tears and only the faintest regrets. The truth is, I listened to my gut, and my gut said “Let it go.” So I burned that bridge. I can wear all the blame, and in return I can float away unteathered towards, well, towards whatever is coming up next.
It would be nice to learn to do that more elegantly tho.

ending any kind of relationship is hard…whether you are the ender or the ended (does that make any sense?!) really don’t think there is any smooth way around it.
admire you for doing it though - don’t think i’d have the balls myself.

Someone once said to me that relationships are like canned food.They have a use by date…...At the time I wasnt sure about this statement but as I have grown older and gained more interactions I realise there is some truth in this.
Well done.
