In the last few months I have come to realize the importance of saying goodbye to certain people in your life, even though your heart may be loaded with love for them. Throughout our span of life we meet people, share common interests, develop relationships, and grow. Sadly, you do not always find yourself growing with a person when you desperately want to. Instead, you realize that you grow more apart with each passing day. For many relationships there comes a point where it becomes better for you and the other persons involved to end the relationship .
For so long I had maintained relationships that simply did not feel good in my heart, soul and mind. Some of these relationships involved a combined mixture of conflict and discontent. Others were filled with pure discomfort, selfishness and inconsideration. As I insisted on maintaining these relationships I noticed that I was no longer growing. These people were not adding to my life and were actually using up all my energy. Times I should have spent having a good time were dedicated to me moping in my room and feeling sorry for myself. I stuck with a lot of relationships because my heart was still flooding with great love for the persons of interest. Just the thought of saying goodbye frightened me to the core of my very being. This fear of letting go, being alone and, living with constant pain left me in negative relationships.
However, there comes a time where one has to accept the painful truth and move on. I find that giving my heart to the Lord has made things much easier for me. I realize now that getting rid of all unhealthy relationships will create more space in my life to create new and positive relationships.
I thank the Lord for giving me the strength to do that which I should have done a long long time ago.

ReplyDeleteIt's never easy to say goodbye but chances are you are not gon get that new car once you still have that old broken down car parked in your garage. Where's the space for the new car anyways? The old broken down car is occupying that space in your garage. Get rid of it and then you'll have space for the new one (hope you catch my drift).
It takes super human strengthen to close that door, and even when you decide it's time, you can't help but wonder if you are doing the right thing. This life is full of risk, you win some and you loose some, you just try not to loose yourself.
ReplyDeleteI have had to let someone very dear to my heart go, it's not been easy, but it hurts less, everyday.
