Dear Friend,
I know you may be struggling with a difficult situation right now, but I want to encourage you to consider the power of distance. Sometimes, stepping back isn’t about giving up—it’s about giving the other person space to reflect and yourself the opportunity to regain clarity.
When emotions run high, staying in the situation can make things worse. Words may be spoken in anger, and actions may be taken that can cause even deeper wounds. But by choosing distance, you prevent unnecessary damage and create room for understanding.
More importantly, your absence can serve as a mirror, helping the other person see the consequences of their actions. Reflection often leads to realization, and realization can lead to change. If reconciliation is meant to happen, it will come from a place of sincerity, not forced interaction.
Take this time to focus on your own peace, healing, and wisdom. Trust that if a relationship is meant to be restored, it will be in a way that is healthier and stronger. And if not, know that distancing yourself from negativity is sometimes the best way to protect your well-being.
Stay strong and trust the process.
With wisdom and grace,
Pst. Wale-Rich
