Some of us travelled through madness to find ourselves, and that’s why we no longer deal with crazy. We permanently lost interest in anything that reeks of instability and anxiety even if it promises excitement and thrill. We’re done pursuing uncertain relationships and unavailable people. Now all we want is a stable love and a simple life. Why? Because we once loved unstable people thinking we could change them but instead we were left with lingering damage that we had to deal with for years. We’ve had to silence condemning voices and auto-play lies in our heads that people had planted there because they wanted to break us and use us. Now that we’ve journeyed to a place of balance and tranquility, pardon us if we seem uninterested in drama and ‘fast food’ kind of love that’s hot today and cold tomorrow. We’ve just filtered our lives to a quiet life and uncomplicated relationships with others who have come full cycle like us.
