Dear My Skepticism,
Let’s be honest, we’ve been together for a long time. At times its felt effortless. I didn’t even have to try and we could spend hours together. Sometimes we have some pretty intense conversations and debates as to what is playing out before us. I’ve appreciated those conversations. They expanded my mind, tested me, and pointed me in the direction I wanted to go. I don’t think you’re going to like it becasue it’s actually the very thing you hate. It’s what you fight everyday I open my eyes. It’s what opposes you every time you pass through my mind. It’s actually what has caused me to continue moving forward. I don’t want you to think that I’m getting rid of you though. I just need to set some healthy boundaries. There are times when I’ve felt threatened, frustrated, and hindered by you. Its not all your fault either. I haven’t been proactive in letting you know when enough is enough. So, right now this is me being proactive and setting those boundaries.
When ever I am in a conversation, you do not get to direct my words. When ever I see the miraculous happen you do not get to pervert my mind into thinking it was less than it actually was. When ever I am reading, you do not get to down play the effect that the words have on my life. Whenever I am thinking you do not get to try to speak into my life. Whenever I am moving, you do not get to guide my steps. Whenever I am listening, you do not get to question truth that is being spoken.
I get it. These boundaries are restricting but I needed to let you know. Yeah, I’m sure we’ll run into each other from time to time and I’ll say hi but we can’t hangout any more. I’m giving all my time and effort to another close friend of mine. I would like to introduce you but I’m not entirely sure how it would go. Maybe one day you all could meet. I think it would do you some good to listen to my friend. I really think it would help with some of your questions. Anyways, thanks for everything. Please don’t think I don’t regret anything because without you I wouldn’t be the man I am today but this is where we have to part.
Thanks for everything,
Joey
