Stop apologizing.
It is not your fault.
You are not wrong.
You are not bad.
There is no wrong or bad.

What you do
In that moment
Was the perfect decision
To you.
It made sense.
To you.
You don’t need to validate.
You don’t need to explain.
Anything.
To you.

Stop fixing.
It is not yours to fix.
You are not the savior
You are not the handyman
The only solution is time.

When others act
Without consideration
Of their surroundings
Step back.
You could get hit.
Step back.
You cannot resolve for them
You cannot justify for them
Ever.
Step back.

Stop. Just stop.
Stop apologizing, stop validating, stop explaining, stop fixing, stop saving, stop handling, stop resolving, stop justifying.
Just stop.
And just simply be.
