1
00:00:17.488 --> 00:00:20.248
'Ni mimi tena' (It's me
again) on Rooted&Real.

2
00:00:21.088 --> 00:00:21.968
This is Lynda.

3
00:00:23.808 --> 00:00:25.608
Again, we're still on 'Betrayal'.

4
00:00:25.968 --> 00:00:28.208
I'll tell you this.

5
00:00:29.128 --> 00:00:32.488
'Distance is a Form of Self-respect'.

6
00:00:34.008 --> 00:00:35.903
Walking away is not weakness.

7
00:00:35.928 --> 00:00:39.248
It's wisdom, it's
courage, it's being brave.

8
00:00:40.168 --> 00:00:45.368
So every time you choose that distance
over drama, you're doing what?

9
00:00:46.128 --> 00:00:48.728
You are choosing you.

10
00:00:49.728 --> 00:00:53.328
You don't owe access to
people who misuse it.

11
00:00:53.848 --> 00:00:57.328
You don't owe explanations
for protecting your peace.

12
00:00:58.328 --> 00:01:05.008
Distance is how you teach people how to
treat you, 'umeskia' (did you hear me)?

13
00:01:06.368 --> 00:01:15.808
And to anyone who's been betrayed, the
most powerful thing you can do is leave.

14
00:01:17.168 --> 00:01:21.368
Not just leave, don't look back.

15
00:01:22.328 --> 00:01:24.048
It's 'ciao' (goodbye).
