Now before we all start yelling, “Hypocrite”, hear me out!
Your dreams, your goals, your aspirations … no. Fight until it is honestly just not feasible to anymore. I will always stick to this since I’m in the midst of doing so myself. I’m referring to shitty situations.
- Bad relationships
- Shitty friendships
- Broken family bonds
- Business partnerships
- Etc
This past weekend, well Friday, I reflected on something I was told last Sunday… by someone I most definitely thought I would never speak to. It really made sense:
“As much as I don’t like to believe in the good in people. I just remind myself that I’m taking a chance. A chance on someone. And this means I have to start preparing for the worst. So when good comes, I’m always so grateful. So damn grateful. Whatever the situation is and I feel there’s a possibility that the outcome might be disappointing, I just remind and credit myself for taking a chance. For being valorous.”
I hate failed friendships, I honestly do. There are some that I can accept that we just grew apart, and then there are others that if they just changed their ways a tad bit… we would’ve been fine. But it’s time I gave up on some, even some of the newer connections I have made. I said this last year, and implemented it a bit… I questioned it a few weeks ago, but now I’m honestly ready to take the leap, and understand that I made the effort… and be okay with giving up. I did what I had to and that’s all I could do.
There’s no time for wasted efforts… there’s no time at all.

I’m glad you are letting it go. I never regret anyone exiting my life because I always think if they are meant to be there, God will bring them back someway somehow. People are there for a reason, and if they leave they have served their purpose in your life. No matter if it was good or bad, they have taught you something that will help you along your journey in life.
That quote really hit home. I don’t think I give myself enough credit for taking risks on people. I’ll start doing so. Great read.
