Cut-off Point

Where is The Juggling Prawn?

I am still above water and breathing fine.
I have just returned from a fantastic mission that involved, among other things, falling in love.
I won’t talk about those amazing and noteworthy moments in this post, but I will at some point… definitely not today.
I just wanted to check in and let you all know that I am still here and haven’t cut anyone off.

Speaking of cutting off, remember how at the end of the year everyone wanted to cut everyone off in preparation for the new year?
It was amusing while also being realistically truthful.
It seemed like a lot of people were tired of their friends and they had to be brutal about it.
Thankfully, I didn’t cut anyone off… at least not at the time. But there has always been the possibility of exploring that choice.

In this day and age, prioritising your mental health is not only important, it’s essential.
Trust your instincts and make the best decisions for your well-being, because you deserve to feel your best.
(Gosh, I sound like a motivational speaker now, and that\’s not my style).
Let’s focus now.

You will inevitably lose friends at some point in your life.
I have observed this happen at every stage of mine.
But, you have the power to keep only the truly valuable friendships in your life.
Remember, the toxic and negative people in your life don’t need you to survive.
They are like bad food and it’s best to avoid them.

I have lost a few friends… not like I had many.
Those I thought were real friends but was mistaken.
But it’s all good and I feel like it was the right decision for me.
It has given me the space to focus on the people who truly matter, and I’m grateful for that.
Life is too short to waste time on relationships that aren’t fulfilling, right?

Right!
In addition, I have made new friends, especially YOU, my audience.
Friends I have learned to value.
Those I’ve forged some bonds with and believe the future holds tremendous things for us.
I firmly believe in the value of unwavering loyalty among friends, and I am confident in my ability to cultivate and maintain such relationships.
I am committed to helping each other achieve our highest aspirations and pursue our passions.
I will always focus on building positive relationships that uplift and support me.

Remember to choose what you believe is best for yourself confidently.

You won’t believe it, but The Juggling Prawn is about to undergo a major transformation. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say I won’t be using any fancy ring lights or microphones…if you know what I mean. 🫣

I’m going to start meddling in other people’s affairs as well. I heard it’s fun! 🤣

Don’t forget to subscribe and share ‘The Juggling Prawn’ with your friends. 😉

A significant amount of work has been done for the year 2023. We can expect to see the results of this hard work in 2024.

Wishing you all a jolly Christmas and a Happy New Year. 🎅❄️🎄 

See Y’all in 2024.

    As always….a nice write-up!
    I was having a stressful day, but this brought smiles to my face! Cos I can so relate…
    I have thought of cutting people off for my sanity…but then…
    The reverse is I was also nearly cut off by “you know who…”
    #confidently chosing what you think is best for yourself is a nice reminder…
    This is definitely one of my best reads from JP.

      Nice write up! Not that I even have a lot of friends, I just return the same energy given to me and as I grow older, I realise most people are just affiliates at one point in one’s life.

      Getting cut off by Lord Voldemort might have it’s perks, if you know what I mean 😉

      I’m glad my write up made you smile. Remember, If it’s good for your sanity, go for it please.

      Thank you for your feedback.

      Good read. Reminds me of the Yorùbá adage; twenty friends can’t play together for twenty years. Life itself sometimes cuts us off too. We learn to value everyone at every stage and treat each other as we do ourselves.

        Excellent point of view. We gather loads of dust while moving and at some point we have to shake off some of those dust so we can still appear presentable, isn’t it?

        Thank you for your feedback. 🤩

    Amazing write up. Life is definitely in stages and cutting off ties with some friends will surely happen if values are not channelled towards same direction.

    Lolss, I can relate so well. Growing up, I used to think it’s a child’s thing cutting people off every new year until I started holding the scissors too 😀 Jokes apart, I didn’t intend to cut anyone off as I was growing up because I believe in making friends but life happened and I realized I don’t even need to wait for the new year to let go of unhealthy relationships for my mental health.
    I don’t even cut some off completely, I set clear boundaries while I give you room to cut me off yourself.
    I feel it is very okay to cut people off at some stages in life, what seems childish to me is the public announcement 😀😀😀 come on do it, no need to shalaye.

    Nice write up man, very relatable ✅✅

      Great point.
      Announcing it is totally unnecessary. If it has to be done, it has to be done.

      What do we do when flowers are overgrown?? We trim them to restore the beauty. 🤩

      Thank you for your feedback.
