Unlearning the Habit of Tolerating Harm

One of the most liberating choices I made this year was to stop normalizing what is not normal. By refusing to excuse behaviors, dynamics, or environments that undermined my well-being, I reclaimed my clarity and self-respect. This shift didn’t just protect my peace, it deepened it. I no longer carry the weight of justifying what feels wrong. Instead, I honor my instincts, set firmer boundaries, and surround myself with truth. Life feels quieter, cleaner, and more mine. Whether it’s a colleague who consistently avoids responsibility, a family member steeped in negativity, a friend who’s drifted into chronic unavailability, or a romantic partner who shows little regard for your needs, recognize that they are unlikely to change. Instead of waiting for transformation, choose to step back or limit your engagement. Protecting your peace sometimes means releasing the hope that others will become who you need them to be, and honoring your own emotional boundaries instead.

The most liberating way to live is to give freely, without expectation. What you offer will return to you in folds, though not always from the same person or place. That’s the truth we must learn to accept. Life is unpredictable. People are unpredictable. The best way to move through it all is to embrace each moment, dance with its rhythm, and allow yourself to feel the pain when it comes. Accept what is. Cherish what was. Honour what you’ve lived through. This is the remedy that has carried me through heartbreak, disappointment, and change. No resentment. No hatred. Just release. When you free yourself from bitterness and negative emotion, you carry less weight, som...
