When I’m Done, I’m Done—You No Longer Exist

There comes a point in life when you realize that peace is priceless. That no amount of explaining, arguing, or trying to make someone understand your boundaries is worth your energy. And when I say I’m done with someone, I mean it in every possible way. You no longer exist. Not as a thought, not as a ghost, not as a memory. You are nothing to me. And that is not bitterness—that is peace.

Some people may think this is extreme, but is it? Or is it just a level of detachment most people wish they had? Because let’s be honest, holding onto resentment, anger, or even mild irritation is exhausting. And I refuse to waste my energy on people who no longer serve a purpose in my life.

What It Means to Be Done

When I say someone is done in my head, I mean it. In my mind, I’ve taken you out of my world, and you are as good as gone. You don’t occupy my thoughts. I don’t replay conversations. I don’t feel the need to prove a point, to seek closure, or even acknowledge you.

You’re not a ghost because ghosts still have a presence. Ghosts can be spooky, they can be kind, they can linger. No. You’re beyond that. You’re not even a memory.

If I see you pass by, I don’t flinch. If you were on fire? My spit wouldn’t be wasted on you. My urine wouldn’t be wasted on you. That’s how done I am. That’s how at peace I am.

Why This Isn’t Bitterness, It’s Power

Let’s talk about why this isn’t about hate or bitterness. Bitterness means I’m still holding onto something. It means I’m still carrying you in some way. And I’m not.

This is freedom. This is choosing to put my energy into people and things that actually matter, not people who have drained me, disrespected me, or done nothing to deserve space in my life.

People confuse “not caring” with being mean, but let me ask you: what’s meaner? Letting someone keep running circles in your mind? Or cutting them out completely and moving on with your life?

Because when I cut you off, I don’t go back. There is no reopening the door, no second-guessing, no wondering if I should reach out. When I’m done, I am done.

Why Some People Can’t Handle This

Not everyone can handle this level of detachment. Some people need closure. They need final conversations. They need to hash things out. And if that works for you, great. But for me? The closure is in the decision. The decision to move forward and never look back.

So if you’re someone who struggles with cutting ties, let me ask you: what are you holding onto? What’s keeping you from shutting the door for good? Because sometimes, the hardest part isn’t letting go—it’s realizing that you should have let go a long time ago.

The Power of Moving On

At the end of the day, peace is priceless. And when I say I’m dangerously at peace, I mean exactly that. I don’t even flinch when you pass. You’re nothing. And that’s the freest I’ve ever been.

So, if this resonates with you, take it as permission to release what no longer serves you. Choose your peace. Protect your energy. And when you say you’re done, mean it.

Let me know in the comments—how do you handle letting go? Are you the type who needs closure, or do you cut ties without looking back? Let’s talk about it
