People in today's world seem to think they should have "access" to just about anything they want. They need to be the first to know everything, they get upset if you don't speak to them daily or tell them every minor detail about your life. Social media has now become a breeding ground for everyone to waste countless hours of their time " stalking" in hopes to find out whatever information they can that is not openly shared with them.
I used to be so open, so forthcoming with life details. I wanted everyone to like me, I had a hard time understanding when people didn't. As I continued with being so open I started to notice the real intentions that people had. And let me tell you, there is always a snake in that beautiful garden you think you are standing in. Slowly I started to shut down parts of my life, I stopped sharing so much. I stopped talking to people who mentally drained me, I removed myself from people and situations that didn't serve me. If I felt like you were going to become a liability instead of an asset in my life, access to everything about me had become denied.
You are not about to stress me the fuck out on my own phone or in my home. I do not owe a single person on this planet the ability to have full access to my life and neither do you. It does not matter if they are family or not. You are ALLOWED to stop communicating. If they do not bring peace into your life or want to see you succeed you do not have to continue giving them the means they think they deserve to be able to watch your every move.
Block them.. remove them from your social media, your phone and your mind. Stop giving power to people who are only going bring you down or stress you out. It is completely ok to set boundaries in your life so your mental health does not suffer.
People will get upset and you may hear chatter here and there, don't fucking worry about it. Pour yourself a margarita and pat yourself on the back for putting yourself first.
