Please, Cut Them Out Before 2022 Comes To An End

If there are toxic people in your life, cut them out before 2022 comes to an end because you don’t deserve to be treated this way. You don’t deserve to stare at the ceiling at night, wondering what you’ve done wrong. You don’t deserve to deal with the extra stress that having them in your life brings. You don’t deserve to feel like everything you do is wrong because this person acts like your every move is a mistake.

Cut them out before 2022 comes to an end because there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself like a priority. With having standards. With setting boundaries. You shouldn’t let others walk all over you, simply because you have history or because you feel guilty because you know how much they’ve gone through. Nothing excuses their bad behavior. And if they aren’t going to learn and grow from it, then you shouldn’t stay and endure it. You should walk away. You should say goodbye for good. 

Cut them out before 2022 comes to an end because you’ve been contemplating it for a while. You’ve been imagining what your world would look like without them. You’ve been tempted to walk away but something has been holding you back. However, you should trust your gut. You know what the right thing to do here is. You know what needs to happen. Instead of putting it off and allowing them to keep treating you like trash, put your foot down. Put an end to the relationship.

Cut them out before 2022 comes to an end because you don’t want to get used to their poor treatment. You don’t want to grow comfortable with others hurting you. This shouldn’t be the norm. This shouldn’t be how you live your life. You should surround yourself with people who love you and respect you. With people who you’re excited to see, not people who give you a bad feeling in your stomach whenever their name appears on your phone. There’s no reason to keep subjecting yourself to pain. There’s no reason to let this continue. It’s already gone on long enough.

Cut them out before 2022 comes to an end because you aren’t giving yourself enough credit. If you really love yourself and trust yourself to form healthy connections, then it’s okay to sever this one. It’s okay to walk away from this relationship and set out on a search for better ones. It’s okay to start fresh, even if it’s scary stepping into the unknown for the first time.

Cut them out before 2022 comes to an end because they aren’t the only one who will ever see the beauty in you. There are other people out there who will love to get to know you better, who will be excited to hear what you have to say. Maybe this person fit into your life a long time ago, but people change. Circumstances change. If they are no longer a positive presence in your life, and nothing you says can get through to them, then there’s only one choice left to make. You need to walk away. You need to continue on without them.
