Finally, we all deserve distance. A moment to put ourselves first. Detachment is a sincere commitment to yourself when people around you are overwhelming.

Practicing detachment is not something to feel sorry about when it helps us recover and heal.

I process these things longer than the people I know which has always made me wonder if life is getting better for me from here on.
