It has been almost a year now, that I have broken necessary ties. At the time it was a hard pain staking decision, of which I dwell on and lost sleep over. I often wonder how someone at my age, and be so mature as to realize that business relationships end, and friendships can move forward. Change is inevitable, and in most cases necessary. It's business; not personal. I was sucker punched by a few hard blows when I realized that my view wasn't shared nor respected. Rather than to engage the drama, I simply stepped away and kept trudging though my decision so I could meet some personal and private long term goals I had set for myself. It seemed after about six months rocked on all was well, and friendships were intact, and everyone had just made a business decision. I quickly learned how wrong I was. Malice, and lies dripped from the lips of people I had so foolishly called my friends. I had moved on, but they had not, and tried to implicate me in some social media drama which I wanted no part of. I was infuriated. So I did what any sane person would have. I extracted them. Just like a festering cavity that had eaten at a poor tooth for far too long. I removed them quickly and quietly from my life, and asked them to do the same. I haven't spoken of or thought of them or the situation since, which had helped me as a person and professional. I guess I share this story so I can close this horrid chapter of 2013, and broaden my horizons for a bountiful 2014. I have made the right decision and go into my New Year with all my aspirations and dreams laid out before me. Hope you all have a great New Year!
