At times, let them go



Source


In one way or another, we all have friends or are in relationships, and at some point, most of these friends tend to be so cunning. Some are not straightforward, some backbite, and some only come to tap from you and leave you empty, so parasitic in nature. Losing such friends is not really a loss but freedom, because peace of mind is far more valuable than fake company.

I had a friend back then, she was calm, peaceful, and lovely. At a point, we decided to take things deeper (You gerrit? If you gerrit, forget about it 👀🤣🤣). So we started the business, and everything went on well. After a while, she began to develop a funny character. Even after I tried to know what the problem was, she kept saying nothing, that all was fine. This cold attitude continued for some time, and I was so disturbed and confused because I was deeply into her. Eventually, she zoomed off without any explanation, leaving me broken for weeks. But at some point, I picked myself up and moved on.

After some time, she bounced back with apologies and explanations of what happened. In her words, she was ready to right her wrongs. Well, I gave her a second chance, but I was still disturbed, though more careful this time. After a few months, she started her usual behavior again. I noticed early and quietly let her go without many questions. I was perfectly fine.

After a while, she bounced back again 🤣🤣 funny right? I told her to go and rest. In such a case, losing her was freedom to me and helped my sanity.

Life has a way of teaching us that not everyone who starts with us will end with us. Some people come into our lives to teach lessons, not to stay forever. So, learn to recognize when peace leaves and confusion enters. When that happens, walk away with your head held high. Friendship is not by force but by choice, so choose well and let go when necessary.

I liked what you said here. We should not forget our peace all in the name of wanting to keep a friendship or relationship. Not everyone is meany to stay with us forever because not all can go the way we are going.
Nice write up.
