Yup, I cut a lot of friends in recent years. I have friends that I know I'll have for life but I let a lot of them go, and it was for the best. Because after I cut them, successes flowed in. I lovingly detached.
If she's tired, I'll take it up. After being stupid in my younger years and trusting people with my life. I'll never do that again. Here's to being independent and not an idiot like I once was.
#1 Start building businesses & growing YouTube channels at 18 instead of 25. #2. Ignore that horrid well intentioned advice you heard since the age of 8. #3. Do what you want, not what society wants for you. #4. Don't exchange your time for money. Learn how to earn money in your sleep. Start at 18. #5. Haters are a dime in a dozen. Expect to get attacked/questioned because you are going to go on a different path . You're never going to touch a 9 to 5er. People won't understand this and will disappear/criticize/hate/do things to destroy you. Let them talk. You're gonna do just fine in business and YT, ignore, ignore ignore. #6. Let them talk. People on the sidelines will always criticize people playing in the game.
Well, as someone who's trust been violated multiple times, I'm sticking with the animals. And people that I trust (and that's far & few). I don't go whoa it's me, because no one wants to hear that crap and they will just say you're playing victim. I just woke up one day and said you know what. I'm just gonna do what works best for me
After some friends disappeared on me, I started wondering what the hype was, and disappeared more than once. After disappearing and finding some successes, I will mindfully disappear to accomplish goals, not hurt folks.
As one of girls that's one the guys in the group. I always make those boundaries very clear. I'm the 3rd wheeling auntie THATS A FRIEND. I'm not the mother of your kids, don't get it twisted. Terri, this article is so timely.
This is an excellent piece. If I can help it. I won't ask. I'm stubborn and pretty creative, and asking for help on too many occasions has led to bad things I won't discuss. I mean I can do bad and be a piece of shit by myself. People will never know how bad it got because I do not talk about it + no one wants to hear it. You gotta keep it moving and live life even though you never get closure.
They no longer attached themselves to expectations and to needing anything from anyone else. Bingo Alex. It's ironic, now that I don't look for or expect it from others. I've been told to open up more. I've tried letting others do things for years, just to end up disappointed and having to do it over for myself anyways. Absolutely not. I've carved out a unique path and I'm generally misunderstood by others. One of the worst mistakes I've made in life is generally expecting anything from anyone.

Life is never the same. I don't talk about mine anymore, because too many people were like why are you expecting me to help you? And disappeared. And I've found people don't care unless they experienced it themselves. You live life, but what you been through is definitely a part of the fabric of your being.
My benefits. #1. Peace, I'm very picky about who I let in my sanctuary. #2. When I trusted people with my life, bad things happened. I can do bad by myself. When I left most alone, cool things started to happen. #3. Read on Dorothy Heffner. I'm gonna do things like her and ignore society. #4. No thanks on being on a crime show.

Nope. It's for the best for me. Listening to well intentioned advice was the punishment. Then realizing at 25 it wasn't going to get me where I needed to be. I had to get rid of my religion, my schools and a lot of people. It was like an overhaul. I'm gonna what I want, not what this world wants for me. I'm Dorothy Heffner the second.

Thank you for this piece for real. As the 3rd wheeling auntie. People should know my character and even if he were to try something? I would gently remind the guy to go back to the one who butters your bread. I don't mess with another woman's territory + I don't date guys who dated/married my girls. I definitely don't want your husbands and have my stories of getting rid of married men.

Excellent read. I plan on being single forever tho. I love my life as it is, no regrets on my solo for life decisions. It's just getting this world to f*** off saying I'm a catch. Lol. let's not get carried away, I make a better friend. The guy I liked passed away, and he knew how to leave me alone and let me be. You won't see me playing victim or talking about woe wow it's me. I'm living my best single life, creating successes in my own way. FYI. My wishes are reflected in my funeral arrangements. I'm not looking for a match, but I'll light them for life.
