let people go that need to be let go

take and take and take. Or simply fail to give. Love. Loyalty. Affection.

My life is more complete with less.

There is always that one person!

I’ve been holding onto so many people from my past. Some are family and some used to be close friends, and we’ve taken different paths.

Looking back I realize that I’ve mostly been the one keeping in touch and making excuses for people who didn’t reciprocate. I kept remembering birthdays. Why didn’t those people ask for mine?

In hindsight, we’ve all been so darn “perfect” it aches. Some of these friends seem so scared of “issues”, or perhaps they never have any. I’d like to see them go a little crazy sometimes, go out on a limb, but they don’t. Maybe they think someone might disapprove, who knows?

My concept of closeness and intimacy has changed. I really feel that I need to move on, and set my sights on the future, whatever it may bring. Cutting ties feels really scary, even though it’s mostly a mental thing anyway, but it really feels like something I need to do.

When certain people in your life take up too much of your energy or add too much negativity, it may be time to go your own way.

my last word to one of those people was:
earth is full,go home!!

and another one was: ı dont need another bitch in my life,ı have enough already.take care n bye
:):)

i’ve finally let go of my exboyfriend ..we went out for 3 years, and being that i am only 18, that is a long time. we broke up in october of last year, so getting over him is well overdue. it took me awhile, it was slow process, and at times it was incredibly difficult. but, i did it and i am a much happier person in the end of it all. :)

Definitely worth doing! I’ve let go of many toxic friends and I’ve never been happier! One of those were supposed to be my bestfriend… but clearly it wasn’t so. I was always there for her,did everything for her, I was her only true friend…but her- she ditched me everytime she got a boyfriend (even though I never did for mine), only called when she needed something or had nothing else to do, she started lying, and got an attitude as if she were better/cooler than everyone… and she was a dramaqueen above all else… I couldn’t stand it, so she’s out of my life- we only talk if we run into each other, and now she’ll send me messages “I miss you.. we should hang out” “you’re the best friend I ever had/will have..” too late bitch!! haha funny thing is, I dont even miss her… sure we had good times- but when you find out what real friends are…it doesn’t even compare… so I hope she’s happy with her group of backstabbing friends, and cheating boyfriend… because that’s all she’s got now… karma baby

Exactly what hartstar99 said about the bank accounts, thats how my relationship with my ‘friend’ was.

So I let go of him. Life is to short to wait around on someone who will never change.

I once heard the analogy of relationships are like a bank account; both people need to be making “deposits” in order for the “account” to succeed. If one person keeps taking and taking and the other person keeps giving and giving then it will never be an equal relationship. I feel that alot of people are so scared of letting go of people that are negative in their life because they don’t want to actually feel the disconnect.
I’ve let a lot of people go because they just weren’t good for me. It’s hard but something that, in the long run, is so much better for the sanity and heart.

I can talk to him about anything and have great conversations with him and want more and more, but I don’t like him as a person. I need to become more assertive—cut ties—and move on.
