Letting go

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

I think it would be easier to define what I will not let go of for the sake of harmony, so here goes:

– My sense of self and self-worth. i no longer apologize for shit i didn’t cause, or simply agree for the sake of keeping the peace. If we disagree, that’s fine, but i will not waste my energy to get you to see my point of view if you’re committed to misunderstanding me or not even willing to listen with an open mind.

– My autonomy and the values that drive it. If i do something that i know to be the right thing and it makes you uncomfortable or upset, then so be it. I will not intentionally harm someone, but transient hurt feelings are not harm. They are part of life.

Yeah, those are the two big ones with no real gray areas.
