If I am who I say I am, then I take responsibility for bringing harmony to all my relationships. Yep, just me. No matter what someone else is doing to me or saying about me.
I was surprised to discover, years ago, that the people I’d had the hardest times with through the years and sometimes even cut off years ago ended up being my closest real friends now. Don’t burn bridges. There’s less to regret later. If I am who I say I am, I will remember that.
