I never want to hurt anyone – even those who have hurt me. That’s not to say that I never do hurt anyone – only that it is never my intention to do so.
This is one of the reasons I am coming back around to letting go. Also:
- We’re not going anywhere
- I’m not “all in” – not fair to you
- I’ve been physically sick in some manner ever since I opened that door a crack (for the second time I might add) and you began wedging your foot into it, pushing sometimes gently, sometimes forcefully, trying to “gain purchase” into my life again. I said over and over “there won’t be a ’round three’,” and then I opened the door a crack.
It’s going to hurt for a minute – maybe longer – but I’ll be unwedging your foot now. It’s getting cold in here.
