Sometimes you just have to let go. With friendships or any relationship, I think it is healthy to take a step back every once and a while and think to yourself: What am I getting out of this? What am I contributing? Do the positives outweigh the negatives? When you tend to love unconditionally, you unfortunately are more apt to be taken advantage of. We swear someone means well because of how long we’ve known them, but that is not always the case. Some people really are out to make themselves happy only and will treat whoever they please like a doormat whenever they please to get their way. At a certain point in our life we have to realize what we deserve, what we are getting, what we want, and how to achieve what we want. We want so desperately those we love to stay in our lives that we are blinded to how they treat us in reality. You may think that you have a special bond with someone, but try something. Write down everything someone has done to you in a positive and negative aspect. Really look at what negative things you have written down. If someone you loved were treated this way, think of how you would feel for them and the person who did those things. Is this really someone you want in your life? How do you feel when thinking of the phrase…we are the company that we keep? There is a way to put yourself first and make yourself happy without dragging everyone down around you. You can lift others up as you lift yourself up, even if that means letting them go to let them rise. This is a true, unselfish testament of love.
