“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.”

Heh, how very apt, given I just got through emailing the editor/admin of a website I used to sometimes write for who had written asking if he could repost some articles from my Primary Blog on his site. It was kind of funny because apparently he didn’t even realize I’d been on that site and left, and wanted to know if he could “fix” anything about it to make me come back. I linked him to some posts I’d made in the aftermath of leaving so he’d have a wee bit of background but still…I also made it clear that there was nothing he could do to get me to return. Not because of any big drama or scandalousness, but because that site obviously fulfills some sort of niche…just not one I personally want to be a part of. He can’t “fix” the site because it’s not “broken”, at least not in any way that can be addressed without fixing much, much bigger problems enmeshed with the (current) human condition. I’m glad I stood my ground, at any rate, though. 

Knowing what I know of them, I’m glad you stood your ground too. Nothing would have gone well if you hadn’t.
