i blocked people in my life and i feel like i did myself a favor

it's been a while ever since i started to block people i used to call 'friends.' nothing really changed, but it gave me peace. these people were okay with hurting one another and i can see that forgiveness is important but it got to a point where you just have to force yourself to greet or check up on each other, yk? it didn't feel genuine, it felt performative. it all felt like it's for the sake of keeping followers on their socials. the friendship did not feel real. sometimes i think if nothing ever mattered to them as long as they can keep posted on things to gossip about or to keep followers to give likes or attention to their posts online. i stopped forcing myself to follow people who i used to associate myself with and i am happier now than i ever will be. now, i just follow people that inspires me and that follows the same morals in life or positive perspectives on how to move around in life without being a burden or hurting people in the process. i think that is enough for me. if i lacked something in providing something in the friendship, then all i can offer is my deepest apology. i am sorry if i wasn't a good friend or if i wasn't convenient enough to be around. but i don't want to spend my energy depleting my own. it's just not right. anyway, that's all for my rambling. i hope they're well + stopped being an a-holes to people they meet or who are different from them; and that i hope i don't bring that attitude from them in my life.
