We live in an age where we
feel guilt whenever we have to cut someone off but the
reality is that some relationships do need to die, some
people do need to be unfollowed and defriended. We
aren’t meant to be this tethered to the people in our
past. The Internet mandates that we don’t burn bridges
and keep everyone around like relics but those expectations
are unrealistic and unhealthy. Simply put, we don’t
need to know what everyone else is up to. We’re allowed
to be choosy about who we surround ourselves with online and
in real life, even if it might hurt people’s
feelings.
