Letting Go

I used to think I'd always have certain people in my life. You know when you meet someone and you hit it off and become friends for multiple years, childhood friends, friends you meet in school, or you meet that one man who makes you believe you found your happily ever after. Then the Universe says "NOPE" they're a lesson you need to learn from this situation. Or you start to elevate, and you no longer relate to the things you used to, so the converstations get shorter and you don't hear from them as much. Or you realize the relationship isn't what you hoped it would be. Now you are faced with moving on and letting go of what has been so familiar to you. Now it's like you want them to see what you see, or know what you know, so they can elevate with you. But eventually you realize, you have to let them go. The stagnancy becomes so overwhelming that it's like you are being suffocated. You know you have to move on but you're holding on so tight to what you should have been let go. And all these feelings and emotions are taking over you and the people pleasing starts to kick in and now you are holding back because you don't want them to be made at you or think think, that you think you are better than them, and you make up all these scenarios in your head. You ask yourself why they can't just do the work and see how much better things are, once the work is done. Now I detach myself emtionally from things that don't serve me. I had to let everyone go to see who was truly for me. I had to see if I was sticking around because of my people pleasing, or if they truly serve a purpose in my life. I only focus on the now and how things affect me in the moment. Potential is no longer in my vocabulary when it comes to relationships. If a person isn't where I need them to be when I meet them, it's a pass. I no longer give people the benefit of the doubt. I accept people for who they are and for what they show me at that time. Letting go has allowed me to make room for what is truly for me.
