There are moments that you must remind yourself ‘stop reaching out’. I am stronger by myself. I have friends that I love dearly right now. People who find me when they want me. Who invite me in their life and join into mine. Who remind me that they care. I need to remind myself sometimes that the ones that don’t – the ones that don’t take a step to go ‘Hey’ – are not worth my energy or time.
I will always be the most loyal soul. When I attach myself to someone, friend or otherwise, they will always have a place in my heart. Even people I have drawn boundaries and blocked out of my life for personal reasons could knock on my door tomorrow looking for a place to sleep, and I would open their doors and ask them how many blankets they want.
But that doesn’t mean I need to allow myself to be forgotten. If you wish to forget me? Or ignore me, or anything as such then I will do the same. The energy it takes to continue reaching out to certain people in my life takes away from the many good things I could be doing.
This is one of those moments I remind myself to stop wasting my energy on the people that try so hard to forget me and focus on the people that welcome me with open arms.
