I hardly ever resort to burning bridges anymore. It leaves too big of a mess, requires cleanup, and lessens your collection of possible life paths. Repeating cycles may feel restrictive, but we all do it once there are larger cycles supporting it. And if you want to burn that smaller bridge, you'll first have to find the larger cycle that is supporting it, and deconstruct that.
Like for instance, an acrosstic page I made once was a part of the site for a long time. But just now as I decided to remove it in order to break a pattern in my life related to it, I noticed that the page was actually not referenced by any of the other 1761 acrosstic pages. Apparently the concept is a very isolated aspect of my life, which I never talk about in the rest of my experiences. So that's one bridge I just did decide to burn!
