Building a bridge takes time and effort. This is a well-known fact. The rebuilding process can be cathartic, changing perspectives on life and relationships. However, if both parties are not dedicated to the details, each could suffer in their own rights.

We pride ourselves on keen judgment of character and forgiveness, but there is no shame in cutting ties with those who wish to cause you harm under the guise of a friendly face. You can burn this bridge at any time, but perhaps you're invested. Then it'd hurt you too. It'd be better to wait until you're in the best position to do so.

• Just carry on.
• Burn it anyways.
