Know that as important as hanging on is, so is knowing when to let go
I hope I'm done with this! 16 months ago

I have spent the past 9 years “friends” or something with someone who has been friends when its been convenient for him. When he wants to be there he’s a GREAT friend, other times he’s not. He is a wonderful person, just not for me. However, I have held on because I have seen what a great person he can be. Lately I realized that no matter how terrific he is, I need to look out for me. So, it’s officially time to move on. It should have been a long time ago. Unfortunately my feelings were often times stronger than just those of a friend and I couldn’t let go. Now, I care way too much for myself to be just let myself be treated like this from anyone. I won’t do it anymore. So, I told him I couldn’t be friends wih him anymore. I’m sure I will still hear from him, but for me. . . I’m done. I just need to remember I don’t need to respond to him and that I have better people in my life than someone who only wants me in his when no one else is around.

Letting Go...

I congratulate you. I only hope I can be as courageous but at the moment being without him hurts worse than being with him. And I do believe you can’t let go until you’re totally ready to even if it does take 9 years but God I hope it’s not that long for me!

It's not easy

I wish I could tell you it’s easy but it’s funny how things in life come up and make it seem like he’s someone I still need. He used to be a wonderful friend and I miss that. Right now I could really use that FRIEND. Unfortunately, the times he was a good friend did not outway the times he wasn’t. And, at this point I have met other people who are much better. I’ve learned that letting go of him has let me open myself up to people who are MUCH better for me.
