the sorrow you feel when missing someone you can no longer see or embrace hits quite differently.
taking revenge against those who have caused harm to me and my loved ones is no longer something i do after coming to so many realisations. i mean, i'd rather focus my energy on improving my own character and just let the better version of myself speak the grace and class, which i believe are somethings they can't simply handle.
“It’s both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply.”

there is no perfect working environment. toxicity can be found anywhere. it is just a matter of which one is worth sticking with.
