Suddenly, I'm in that phase again where I just want to distance myself from everyone, disappear for a while, and be alone with my own thoughts.
Not because I hate anyone.
I just don't have the energy to be around people or explain what's going on inside of my head.
When my own energy is off, I tend to stay away from people until I get myself together.
Isolation heals me, and some people just can't understand this.
I have to remind myself that it's okay not to please others.
Sometimes, removing yourself from things that repeatedly trigger your mental health and hurt your heart is top-tier self-care.
Don't ever forget that.
