Smoldering Bridges

The picture and quote above fully explain my life-long gift of being able to separate myself from people who do not have my best interests at heart.
In this dubious list are family members, ex-girlfriends, old classmates, and people whom I mistakenly took for friends instead of acquaintances. 

I do not have the time nor the inclination to baby sit those who want to "need" me as a second option or a plan B in their lives. I fully believe my short leash with humans is that I assume good will on the front end and wait for a person to show me their true colors or be a dick or whatever. At that point  the leash is severed and the person who wronged me is turned loose on the rest of humanity.

I do not give second chances, I do forgive, but I never forget.
