Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

It's never too late to reevaluate and remove abusive relationships from your life. Whether old friends, mates from school, parents or siblings, absolutely no one is entitled to your time and emotional energy. By giving yourself some distance, you may realize contacts maintained out of social obligation or fear of loneliness were actually anchors preventing you from seeking your own happiness.
Nothing wrong with continuing them as is or returning to them after some time to find clarity, either. But it is worth remembering, all of this is entirely under your control.
