Reduce, reuse, recycle, repurpose… NO!

Sometimes you just need to let it go. But why is it that we pick up other people’s trash and keep it for ourselves?

Well, you may be thinking that it is mean and disrespectful to call another human, trash. If you are thinking this, then I would say that you didn’t live with him and experience his toxic and destructive force. You didn’t endure the pain or grapple with understanding that humans can be a force for pure evil.

It is a running joke. Any time certain words come up like trash, garbage, disgusting, gross, despicable, etc, someone will say as if on cue, “narc”? or crack a joke that “he (the trash) already took himself out”. It is comedic relief and how we deal with trauma.

He is my ex. And Julie quickly became his next victim and narcissistic supply.

I call him narc because of the narcissistic abuse, that he is masterful in orchestrating. Also, I will not speak his name.

Still feeling uncomfortable with this?

He earned all of this and so much more.

Spiritual people believe in Karma. But like many other dictators that viciously harm…
