Getting rid of someone we love can be very difficult, we can make all possible excuses, as long as we stay close, we can justify actions and omissions, we can turn a deaf ear, but sooner or later we will have to face reality. Many times it is better to walk away.
When someone doesn’t care about us, it doesn’t make much sense to invest our resources in that person. Although many of our actions may be executed without expecting something in return and collaborating with someone can give us satisfaction, just because of the feeling present in our being, this should be valid as long as it does not affect us negatively, as long as we are satisfied and do not have any kind of expectations associated with that affection. This is how you should walk away even if you don’t want to:
First, you must stop. Remember many times it is better to walk away.
Stop running after them, stop trying, stop giving. Stop and ask yourself why? Ask yourself if it’s worth it, ask yourself if it should be so hard. Ask yourself why you are insisting. Stop counting on the people who weren’t there for you, who didn’t value or love you when you needed it most.
Stop making excuses, stop being overly sympathetic, stop being so blind and start slowly opening your eyes to all the red flags you ignored, the miscommunication, the white lies, the things people say, the lack of effort and you start to realize that it was a problem from day one and you didn’t want to admit it because you wanted to believe that this time was different, that this time you were capable of making a better decision.
So you force yourself to forget
You delete all the texts, you delete all the images, you don’t follow them, you act like they never existed, you forgot how they made you feel, you forgot what they told you, you forgot all their promises that were nothing but a bunch of lies. You forgot who you were when you were with them. You forget about the person you thought they were and you forgot about every good thing about them. You force yourself to forget the potential you saw.
So you remember
You remember that you were fine before they came into your life, you remember who you were before you reached out to them, you remember that you have moved before and that you have a life waiting for you outside of them. You remember that you have bigger things to worry about, you have plans and goals to achieve. You have trips and vacations to plan with friends. You have a whole life ahead of you to meet who deserves every ounce of your love. Remember that people love you even if the person you love was unable to love you, other people do and always will.
So you let life go on
Leave the rest to life. Whether you’re going to meet or reconcile, whether they’ll come back to apologize, whether you’ll forget about them and find someone better, whether you’ll change to be the person you want them to be. Leave it to time and life.
Let the rest of the story finish. May time take care of you heart. Don’t think in scenarios and don’t wait for them to come back, don’t wait for them to realize that letting you go was a huge mistake. Just let them be and let life show them the best. You tried. You did your part, now it’s time for the universe play your role, and it’s always much more exciting than you think. That’s why remember many times it’s better to walk away.
