enemies in this context meaning anything from hostile exes to political adversaries
you live in your city. assert your right to the space. often times if you cut ties with a deeply maladjusted person you’ll find that you basically never see them around because if they’re maladjusted they’re probably also bad at regularly touching grass. in the rare case they do show up, just act casually. challenge the other guy to strike first by minding your own business. they never will, and if they do, they’re the ones who will look insane, not you.
never let your fear of the past keep you from experiencing the present. ever.
