Sometimes you have to let people in your life go. No matter how hard it is, no matter how much it feels as if you’re ripping a part of you away, you will never realize the moment of relief released from your shoulders until you let go. Giving people second chances over and over again hurts. You can’t deny it. You don’t want to, but you still have a glimmer of faith still clinging on deep inside. But there is a moment when things go too far, too far for anyone to rescue the relationship that is crumbling into obliteration.
I hate giving up, but in a sense, you have to at times. Selfish or not, you have to respect yourself because how can you respect others if you don’t value you for the wonderful human being you are? Keep the people in your life that reciprocate the love and wisdom you bestow upon them. Keep the people who will always be there, ready to catch you if you fall. Keep the people who can instill unforgettable laughter even in the darkest of times.
Those are the people you want to hold on tightly to. Those are the people who you should remind how grateful you are to have them in your life. Let go of those who don’t help you, those who never appreciate you, and those who grab on to jealousy and envy with pitiful pride. Leave them behind.
