The Art of Ghosting

If there’s one thing you need to understand in order to survive in this life, you need to know that people come and go. Some people come and leave your life but there are others that you must send away for your own sanity and peace of mind. If there’s one thing I hate in my life, it’s someone stressing me out or trying to make a fool out of me.

As old as we are, it’s funny how someone people think they can outsmart others when their IQ can’t even yours. Funny enough, these are the people that always find themselves wanting because they always have issues. In my many years of living on this earth, I’ve come across so many people and obviously, I’m not in touch with all of them as we speak today. Why because for some of us, like took us to different places where we are very far apart. Others were just people passing through, others were my friends who gradually I lost touch with and then we have those that I had to cut off because I can.

I personally wouldn’t mind if someone cuts off be it a friend or family member. I most likely wouldn’t even notice because I’m too busy with my life. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion and can do whatever they want. I can’t force someone to keep me in their life they don’t want to so I also expect others to also keep the same effort when I decide to wipe them out of my life. Life is meant to be simply and so if I just sense that someone is trying to stress me out, I just open the door for you to step out.

I have cut off so many people in my life for so many reason. I remember cutting off a good friend of mine because he was crossing his boundaries. I have been friends with this person since since senior high school and we’ve been cool since. Fast forward to the university, this guy started making advancements towards me. Talking about love and all. I’m like bro, calm down. It went on for so long I couldn’t take it any longer so we stopped talking. Some years later, we happened to meet somewhere and reconnected again. Only for this guy to propose to me a few days after. He even went to the extent of telling me he has a girlfriend and that I should give him time for him to breakup with his girlfriend.

This is someone I have never even thought of giving a chance and so for him to even say that was more than an insult to me. I didn’t even say a word, I just blocked him and cut him off because I don’t even have time for just rubbish. To think that this guy could even go to the extent of saying this to me is even something I can’t wrap my head around. It was the audacity for me and he just had to go. And that’s exactly what I did. Peace of mind over drama anytime, any-day.
