I believe in second chances, in forgiveness, and in the power of redemption. But I also believe in the importance of self-respect and self-preservation. I refuse to be a doormat, to be taken advantage of, or to be constantly putting in effort with no reciprocity.

I have a strong sense of boundaries and self-worth, and I know that I deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and understanding. If I've cut you off, it's because you have shown me time and time again that you are not capable of meeting me at that level.

I may be empathetic and compassionate, but I am not a doormat. I will always extend a helping hand, but I will not allow myself to be walked over. So if you find yourself cut off from me, know that it was a choice made out of self-love and self-care. And know that there is always a chance for growth and redemption, if you are willing to take it.
