Sometimes life can be lonely by yourself, but being surrounded by half-there people is even lonelier.

Im sick of wasting time on the wrong people.
People who are only half in when Im all in.

People who pick and choose when they care.
People who dont have my best interests at heart.
Im tired of waiting to hear from you.
Im tired of texting and not getting a response or feeling even worse after I get one.
See, the problem is, I care.
And most people dont.
So I stopped caring.
I stopped wasting my time wondering about people.
Instead, I read more books.
I started writing more.
I went on more walks.
I went to the gym.
I focused on myself.
I started thinking about myself more and worrying about others less.
And it taught me a lot.
It taught me that I dont need anyone else.
Sure, its nice to have people around, but its not necessary.
I learned that some people really didnt care.
Because when I stopped reaching out, my phone fell silent.
And that in itself was an answer.
Learn to be by yourself.
Sometimes its better to be alone then to be surrounded by empty promises and empty people.
Sometimes it’s crucial that you reevaluate your circle.
Look at the people around you and ask: Are they enriching my life?
Are they bettering me?
Maybe they are, maybe they arent.
But sometimes it takes silence for us to really see whos there and who isnt.
Because I want to care.
I want to love.
More than anything, I love deep, fulfilling friendships and relationships.
But if its a waste of time, I dont want it.
So Im saying goodbye to the fake friends who only care when its convenient to them.
The relationships where someone else dictates whether today is a good day or bad day to talk.
I dont need halfway people in my life.
Youre either with me or youre not.
But trust me, if youre not, I would much rather know now then later.
So if you dont want to be in my life, do yourself a favor and walk out.
Dont let the door hit you on the way out.
