Letting Go

There is a limit to paying for mistakes that you can't remember except for the other person's anger and disappointment. And when generalizations extending from that anger is the norm, and they are convinced that every action of yours is only a reflection of your past mistakes, it is time to break ties. Because there is no point trying to prove otherwise, in fact it doesn't matter to them at all.

They are happy in their beliefs and the 'fact' that they're right. Why should you always be the one to make allowances for these people and try to see their point of view?

There comes a time when you have to give up the hope that things will be alright. There is no such thing. It is better to just leave these people, be it friends or family, and remember that your life will be better for it. Because if you need people, you'll only end up resenting them for it anyway. Because they're above it all and don't need you.

Your life is diminished if you don't have a person you care about. But it is far worse when you know that your life doesn't make a difference to another person. When that happens it is time to let go. Letting go is easy. Moving on is easy too... once you've left the encumbrances. All it takes is to awaken the rage that once made you immune to every blow you were dealt with. Forget the people who made you weak by fooling you into believing that they cared and then hung you out to dry. And remember never to trust anything or anyone.

We have to keep moving on.
