Guard Your Heart Fiercely

Glee greetings, !

I hope this musing finds you well. I'll be unusually brief today, so please read to the end. Let's talk about something real – friendships and trust.

You know, in life, there are folks who might've walked out of your circle for a reason. Maybe they weren't the most supportive or tried to stir things up. It happens. And sometimes, down the road, they might want back in.

But here's the thing: just because someone's shedding their old ways doesn't mean they've changed their colors. It's like a snake, right? It sheds its skin, looks different, but at its core, it's still a snake.

When someone's already tried to mess up your character or relationships, it's okay to keep that door closed, . Don't let people sneak in and out of your life at will, like your heart is some open field everyone has access to. Trust isn't a toggle switch; it's more like a slow-cooker – takes time to build and can't be rushed.

So, before hitting that "accept" or "friend request" button, take a moment. Think about whether letting them back in is worth it. Have they changed their ways? Aren't they returning to inflict more pain?

Never re-friend someone that has tried to destroy your character, or relationship. A snake only sheds its skin to become a bigger snake. Protect your peace and guard your heart fiercely. You deserve that much.

Also, refrain from being the one who warms up to people who hurt you sore in the past. Show yourself a little kindness, . Have some self-worth!

Until next time, stay choosy and sane.

With ❤️
