Growth

A Spoken Word

By Ola The ScribblerPublished 6 years ago 2 min read

I’m at a point in my life where I’m putting myself first. I have expectations and these expectations will be met.

I won’t compromise for anyone and I won’t beg anyone to fuck with me. I won’t spazz I won’t shout I’ll just put distance between us.

I’ll distance myself from the bullshit. I don't need to condone anything and no one needs to condone anything from me.

I will be great I will work on me and welcome anyone who wants to follow me on my journey but as I’m going if we fall off or if your energy isn’t up to my expectations I will distance myself from you.

I won’t continuously tell you to not wrong me because as we go on this journey we have a degree of respect that such a conversation won’t be necessary.

I will move on. I will no longer look at the relationship because I am young and I have time to make friends.

I already have people who have been in my life this long where we have this understanding of mutual support and respect who will tell me what I need to hear and give me the energy my expectations warrant so I do not need new friends and I don't need to keep you around because you are an old friend.

I am working for me and I will be paid. Whether that means we enjoy the fruits of the journey together as one or I will move on and enjoy with those who meet my expectations.

I will continue to wish you the best in all your endeavors but I will not hinder my growth to put in the extra effort to keep you around. This is my energy and a need that is of the utmost importance.
