I woke up today with a
crook in my neck
and a crook in my head,
and a crook in my bed,
but goddamn, at least I
woke up.
And when someone takes my picture and they tell me to smile, I still think of you.

You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance — you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.
