It’s okay to end friendships…
In the past, I actively sought connections, making an effort to reach out to those around me. I was a natural connector and friend collector, always eager to spark conversations and engage in meaningful discussions. I felt a calling, naturally drawn to mend misunderstandings and resolve conflicts before they escalated.
I organized gatherings thoughtfully, ensuring that everyone felt included and valued. I cherished every moment spent with my friends and was always ready to support them in their times of need. I devoted myself to prioritizing the well-being of others and finding joy in being there for them.
While I may have put myself on the back burner, I am not lamenting or playing the martyr but reflecting on my experiences. I’ve learned to take inventory of myself after each upset, observation, and awakening.
But sometimes, things happen, and people change—even me.
Experiences have taught me important life lessons. I no longer feel the constant need to be that person. When people no longer value themselves, it spills outward and creates chaos. The best way to respond is to withdraw, say nothing, and be in peace.
When you notice that someone no longer values your presence or shows concern for your well-being, it’s perfectly acceptable to shift your focus away from them. Use this moment to redirect your energy and attention toward nurturing yourself. Embrace this opportunity to prioritize your own needs, feelings, and personal growth, allowing yourself to flourish without the weight of indifference from others.
It’s OK to stop reaching out and to maintain your space.
It’s OK not to bridge the gap, especially when people have no desire to cross it. It’s okay to remain silent when people do not want to talk things out when all they do is complain and blame.
It’s okay to stop trying to patch things up when people have already chosen not to. It’s OK to prioritize yourself over others. Yes, it’s OK to end friendships.
My motto is LEAVE IN LOVE regardless of what transpired. Like a great game of poker, knowing when to hold em and fold em can mean the difference between growth and depletion.
Most people seek tranquility in their journey through life, which allows them to navigate the tumultuous waters they often encounter. Sometimes, this means making difficult decisions, such as letting go of certain friendships that no longer serve our well-being. If that path leads to greater peace and clarity, embracing it is acceptable and necessary for our growth and happiness.
By the way, I will still be that person who connects with others, hosts gatherings, and reaches out, but now with greater discernment and awareness.
