There comes a time when enough is enough and we have to realize that we can’t make everyone around us happy. I think that is one of the lessons that life teaches us that proves to be one of the more difficult concepts to wrap our heads around. Everyone builds up walls around themselves we chose who we let in and who we keep out. Sometimes, we think that we let the right people in when all they do is destroy us from the inside out. The worse kind of pain is watching someone forget about you because there are memories that can never be forgotten. A lot of people in our lives are temporary even if we think that they are going to stay forever and even if they say that they are never going to leave. But they do. And it sucks. But I guess that’s how things work. People come in and out of our lives for an amount of time to teach us a lesson even if it doesn’t feel like it. But sometimes we let the wrong people in and they get too close. At the same time, we don’t want them out of our lives even though we know that they are bad for us. However, I have found that it’s the difficult people that I need to value the most. There’s something about struggle that makes us a better person in the long run. Everyone is different and we don’t handle the things the same way but that’s okay because that is what makes us different from each other. Sometimes, watching people walk out of our lives makes room for someone better to walk into our lives. And other times, we have to learn that it is okay for us to leave those who hurt us because when it comes down to it, we shouldn’t have to sacrifice ourselves for people who don’t care about us.
