I know from personal experience the implications of burning one's bridges. I did try to rebuild those bridges but the damage was already done. I can only move forward from here and try to build new bridges and form new bonds with people to progress through life. I miss the old connections that I once had, those bridges were forged over many years and took all but an instant to destroy. Once again it comes back to appreciating the things that you have in your life and not taking them for granted, complacency becomes such an expensive thing to allow into our lives. Thanks for your post @chbartist you make some very good points.
