There are those you love that will be grateful and reciprocate, make you feel loved, cherished, safe, secured, stable.
But others, will take you for granted, basking in their pity party, becoming a burden, sucking your energy, they’ll come in your life for their selfish needs and good time, thinking it your duty to give and love.
Sometimes walking away is not being selfish nor cowardly, but having self-respect and the common sense to walk away.
Walking away can be hard, but staying to suffer is harder, stupid, like committing suicide!
“”When I kept waiting, giving opportunities, “turning the other cheek” things never changed, until I finally walked away.””
Part of having wisdom is knowing when enough is enough.
Some people and things can not be explained, a hopeless case, you shouldn’t waste your time trying to figure them out, just walk away.
The words, narcissistic and immature come to mind.
In letting go you’ll find yourself. Love doesn’t always mean staying, but being able to let go.
Remember:
Anybody can profess love, but few can prove it, or even apologize, they are cowards, who expect you to come to them and do the apologizing. Selfish passion is not love, selfish passion only wants to feel good, it takes, but can not love back. They play by their rules.
Learn to respect and love yourself.
the slow painful road to non-attachment.
Yes, slow, easy does it. Thank you!
Enjoyed that final verse.
Great piece of writing.
Thank you Rome.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is admit one’s defeat. It doesn’t mean you have failed, it means you succeeded differently than you wanted to. Beautifull piece
I agree, makes no sense to stay with those who are blind/toxic.
I appreciate your nice and encouraging comment.
