Living for Ourselves

I was thinking about cutting my phone off this weekend but I'm not going to. I am keeping it on for emergencies only. I will not turn my back on any one but rather just distance myself. A person gave me some good advice a while back and I am putting it to use. We put out self in positions not to always fail but to learn. I hope that we learn from this situation if we did not already. 
What happened to sticks and stone may break my bone but words will never hurt me. This chant got a lot of people through back in the day and today it means nothing and everything. People hurting each other cause words did hurt and for what reason?
I like how people take the truth and get mad about it and how others make up things. I know that some things are not worth losing everything for, so if it means people are going to lose friendships over what we know is right and what is wrong, I'm dropping it all and moving on.
This article struck me when I read it. Not only because this woman's longevity but because of how she reached this point. Her grand-daughter said she lived so long because she took care of her own life. I think it is time to live for ourselves. I am not wanting this to be taken out of context but to live for other and their drama slows us down from our own present life. There is nothing wrong with helping and listening but I believe there is a breaking point where we have to say, "stop."
Getting to the point I am distancing myself from others situations because I have my own situations to tend to and if I am tending to others, who is going to tend to my situations or listen to me? Food for thought...
