i no longer have people in my life who do not do what they say they are going to do. i am done with checking in. i am done with reminders. i no longer take on the mental exhaustion that comes with being reliable for another person. i call in self-sufficiency. i call in reliability. i call in competency, consistency, the ability to follow through. all of my connections are filled with ease. we are responsible for ourselves and we benefit from a mutual, natural ebb and flow.
