You have the right to guard your energy the same way you guard your health. Just as you wouldn’t let someone harm your physical body, don’t allow others to harm your emotional or spiritual well-being.
Whether you’re 60, 70, or 90 years old, you’ve earned peace. You’ve earned joy. And you’ve certainly earned the wisdom to know when something—or someone—doesn’t deserve a seat at your table.
You are not here to be anyone’s emotional sponge.
You are here to live, love, and breathe freely.
So when someone’s presence begins to feel like poison—choose distance. Choose healing. Choose you.
