I burned bridges because I can swim. Don't ever think I need you.

Some people…

[theworldismypetridish]

We all make choices. I would be lying if I say I have never been hurt by the villainy of someone in my life and that I have been the same villain to others. There have been instances when I felt so broken because of the tiny words spoken by people I cared for the most just because I was not ready to accept their treatment of me. I have broken and burned bridges with some people I used to be very close to even though I forgave them. while we do consider the happiness of others, as we go on living we make some choices that hurt others. Sometimes even if you forgive them staying with them makes you bitter because mental healing is a long process. You feel sorry for yourself, you feel anger, betrayal and what not. It takes time. A burnt bridge is better then a broken one that you can't trust anymore. Resentment is no good in a relationship. Your past is 'PAST' treat it so and move on. Your Past has no space in your future except for some hearty references for laughs and lessons.  Learn from the past mistakes of your own and others.. Learn to treat people better, whether or not they can do anything for you in return, if they misunderstand your actions no need to feel resentful, forgive and forget. Relationships are based on trust in each other, if it can not be developed it is better to let go of past relationships and make better ones in future. To build a better You in future you need to be stronger and better You. Learn to see people for who they are, not who they can be for you.  #relationships #life #mypetridish #burnedbridges #love #friendship #sisterhood #brotherhood #forgiveness #forget #letgo (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4FgPwB2_4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hsyiy16zfk9d

You can get anywhere through hard work and discipline, or get no where through laziness and exclusion. Which will you choose?

Hey ADs! Did you have any experience where an artist that made a bad impression (or for greater effect, an initial bad reputation) managed to turn things around and ended up being one of great working relationships you've had? If so, how did they do it and what made you stick with them despite odds?

As far as meeting/networking goes, there are plenty of artists who make bad first impressions (either with personality/professionalism or with the quality of their work). But if I see them again and they’ve improved I always revise my opinion.

In the case of a bad impression once you’re on a job, people have repaired things gone poorly by later apologizing and owning their mistake, by which I mean they acknowledged what they did wrong in a way that made it obvious to me that they understood what went wrong and I was sure they wouldn’t make the same mistake again. They didn’t try to excuse or deflect blame, they just accepted it and said they learned that lesson and were ready to move on. Sometimes it’s less risky to go with someone who’s fucked up and you’re pretty sure has learned their lesson (and are eager to correct that impression) than a person who you’ve never worked with before.

TATTOO TAROT OF THE WEEK 🗡🔮 🗡9 OF SWORDS🔮🗡🔮 🔮🗡15th November 2021🔮🗡 🗡This week's card indicates a tumultuous week again. 🔮AIR as we know is associated with SWORDS and AIR signifies: Truth, worry, fairness, boundaries, illness, words, objectivity, trouble, unravelling hopes and dreams. 🗡The 9 represents complacency, fighting the fight, homelife, instability and being so close yet so far. 🔮Combined we are looking at great anxiety and suffering with loved ones. Hopes and dreams will be shattered and struggle to understand the how, when, where and why, the blame game but most importantly the need for perspective. 🗡We are only human so ne gentle with your situation remembering that while no one in life is faultless, it is important to reflect on your recent experiences as life events have occurred, and your role. 🔮Do not become a martyr. Remember your worth. Many things that may have been unexpected and unseen will be coming out of the closet for us to once again evaluate our own ego, worth and self respect. 🗡Meditation is highly advisable during this time, if not meditation, time out to relax, and ground yourself so you can make your next move with a stealthy confidence and skill with controversy. 🔮Bridges will be burned, hearts will be crying, but like the Phoenix the hurt will rise up stronger and better than before, with their souls hurt but confident in their ability to move forward without looking back with regret. 🗡The nettle and lavender in this card remind us to stay calm and focused to keep perspective and calm, the nettle to remind us that life stings, life hurts, don't forget yesterday's pain because it can prevent tomorrow's pain. 🔮The Smokey Quartz is protective and anti anxiety along with the plethora of benefits of calm, intuition, protective, amplification, insight and courage, to name a few of the plethora Supee Seven offers. #tattoo #tarot #tattootarot #nineofswords #air #unbalanced #anxiety #separation #fear #doubt #witchstagram #change #nightmares #despair #strength #grounding #gonetoofar #troubleswaters #regret #futility #burnedbridges #guiltyconscience #reflection #enoughisenough #meditation https://www.instagram.com/p/CWS6FIPvEQJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Burned Bridge

“She won’t speak to me,” I said.

Damon shrugged his shoulders, his cotton t-shirt sleeves brushing my own. He kept his body facing the TV screen and tilted his head to glance at me. The sounds coming from the screen almost drowned out his murmured response, “So call her.”

“I have called her. She won’t answer.” I snuggled a little deeper into the plush red suede couch and focused my eyes on the screen so I wasn’t staring at him awkwardly.

“So call her from someone else’s phone.” His fingers continued to tap out the control commands for his character.

“I’ve tried. She hangs up as soon as she finds out it’s me.”

“Bummer.” Damon heaved a sigh. I was not sure if this was in response to my situation or the fact that his character had failed this level of the game for the fifth time tonight. He tossed the controller onto the carpet before heading into the kitchen.

I turned to watch his slim figure walk to the fridge and rested my chin on the back of the couch. The fabric felt soft and cool against my skin and I closed my eyes for a moment, pretending that I could set down my troubles as easily as I had my head. I had been so sure that she would take my side, but I should have known that my grandmother would love her son more than she loved me.

“Maybe you should just make up with your dad.” His reply came from inside the refrigerator. I had no idea what he thought he could find in there; we hadn’t been grocery shopping in weeks.

“I can’t do that,” I said.

“It doesn’t have to be real, just real enough that you can still talk to her.”

No matter how many times I have explained the situation to him, Damon has never understood. For the first five years of my life, my father didn’t want anything to do with me. The first time I met him was the summer before I started kindergarten. The only reason he asked me to join him at the summer camp in the hills of Wyoming was because his current love interest wanted to meet me. I don’t even know how she knew about me when I didn’t know about him.

The next time I saw my father was three years later when he married my current stepmother, Drucilla. In the meantime, I spent two weeks out of each summer with his mother. She asked me to call her Bubbe. She said it was the Jewish way of saying grandmother, but I knew it was because she didn’t like the fact that “grandmother” made her sound old. I loved her and her husband, my Papa, almost instantly. When my Papa died two years later, I was inconsolable for months. After his death, my visits to Bubbe’s home became shorter in length and further apart in time. By the time I was fourteen, they had stopped altogether.

Is there a way to "un-burn" a bridge once it happens?

It depends how badly you burnt it, really. This is what you do: You apologize, with as little explanation as possible (you don’t want it to sound like an excuse). Pretty much “I fucked up, I’m sorry, I have learned how to not let X happen again, I would love to have a second chance. Let me know if there is a way I can restore your trust in my work.”

And then you just leave it. Don’t pester. Don’t be demanding. Just let it sit with that person a while and see what happens.

You don’t have to be friends with anyone, it’s really up to you who you keep updating on your life events. And if you really stop bothering people with your life then you might just discover that people never actually cared, they just found it convenient that you were the one to reach out...
