Absence makes the heart grow fonder? For me, not so much. ⛔ As I've always attested, I'm much more of an out of sight, out of mind kinda chick. 😒 I admit that I'm sometimes harsh, mostly nice but always intentional in thought, expression and action. I also realize that with that strange combination, most people either don't get me or get me ALL wrong. 😱 I know that, I accept that. But what most people fail to realize, is that if you come at me aggressive or disrespectful, my heart will spontaneously shut off to you...no matter how significant your previous role in my life was. 😠 No matter what they say, silence isn't always golden, especially if you're being silent to 'teach me a lesson'. Sh!t, if you don't want to talk to me (or try to leave me with that impression), I DEFINITELY don't want to talk to you. 🚫 I won't chase anyone. And I'm not just stating that to seem uncaring or unconcerned, that's just the way I am and it's probably the way I will always be. 😶 Okay, here's the part where I also admit that I've made more than a few mistakes in my life. 😬 I've done things that I'm not at all proud of. I've been overly aggressive with some that I love and absolutely non-existent with others that I love. 🎴 In some cases, I've tried to reach out to rectify my actions but if my attempt was ill-received, I've completely check-out. 😑 It may seem cold and callused but I'm perfectly content with any outcome, even if it means prolonged or permanent separation. 💢 Work it out or let it go. 🚨 Diplomatically handling different peoples' unsolicited suggestions, unpleasant comments and unstable emotions gets absolutely exhausting. 😰 I'm sick of it. 😕 I don't react well when I'm barked at, ignored or ridiculed. Anyone that gets an attitude with me, gets their attitude handed right back to them tenfold, left in the cold and standing there alone. 🧍🏾♀️ If those are the wicked ways of supposed friends or family, I'm checking out and I won't be checking back in anytime soon, if at all. 😒 Trust and loyalty are things one should earn, not expect. That goes for me too. I know if I (more like WHEN I) behave in any of the unsavory before-mentioned ways, I fully expect that I will be cut off too. Hey, that's just the way the ball bounces🏀. That's life and it's perfectly fine with me. 👌🏾 I get it. If someone never wants to hear my loud cackley laugh🤣, hear my passionate opinions😠 or see gummy smile😁 again, that's okay with me too. In fact, if we're truly on the outs, I'd rather not waste my time on you at all. 👋🏾 I have better things to do, like clipping my mammoth toenails, picking my nose and scraping the eye boogers out of the corner of my eyes after a restless, Ambien-fueled sleep. 😪💤 I'm allergic to crap, in all it's annoying forms, except for the kind my body produces. 😠 Sure, I may be too trusting, maybe even a little naive at times but I can see straight through bullsh!t with superhuman precision. 🦸🏾♀️ Anyone that knows me (well), knows I will walk away from what I deem to be a mutually unhealthy situation in a millisecond and never look back. 💯 Every living creature is important to The Universe, just not to me. 
If you're reading this and thinking to yourself 'Wow, this chick has got some serious issues', you'd be 100% right *but* I'll deal with my issues my way, no one else’s. On the flip side, if my "issues" happen to be the people I'm dealing with, I won't deal with them at all. In those cases, I take pride in being a bona fide quitter. 💪🏾 Oh well. 😐 C'est la vie. 😑 It is what it is...and so it is. 💟
