Stop Recycling

I'm all for the three Rs-

Reading, 'riting, 'rithmatic
and
Recycle, repurpose, reuse.

That said, I am very against recycling in regards to relationships.
While you may not be in control of how you feel about past relationships, you have the power to not recycle your past negative experiences. Own your hurts- don't pass them on.

That movie, "Pay it Forward" had a good idea, but it was positive. Most people "Pay it Forward" with negative shit. Stop doing that, especially if you have children.

Don't repackage your old hurts and regift them to other people. Be better than that.

Pretend like you are only going to get one life and you don't want to waste it by focusing on other peoples' actions or your reactions to their actions. Pretend like the only moment you have is NOW, because it's the truth.

Try repurposing instead.
