Summary
This quote suggests that if you feel controlled or manipulated by others, it is better to detach yourself from those individuals and seek new opportunities elsewhere. "Being treated like a puppet" implies being used or controlled against your will, and finding a "new ball of string" symbolizes discovering a fresh start or alternative path where you have more autonomy and freedom. It encourages individuals to recognize their worth, reclaim their agency, and move on from unhealthy or restrictive relationships or situations.
