When you walk away from someone that once mattered to you – how do you feel?

For me – firstly, I am overwhelmed with feelings of loss, followed by a disbelief that the separation occurred. I then justify to myself the decision I took in ending the toxic attachment, as I replay in my mind all that transpired leading to the outcome.

I usually get a sense of guilt of abandoning someone I cared about. Soon after, I will accept that our journeys are no longer on the same path. After I take enough time to heal, I move on. I will not forget, I forgive and choose to remember the good memories and focus on the lessons I needed to learn.

How do you feel when you cut someone out of your life?
