You cant rush things.

Just go with the flow.

Leave them if they dont treat you right.

Dont settle for less than you deserve.

Advice Ive received and advice Ive definitely given, but advice Ive never taken.

You meet someone, you mesh, things are good…until theyre not.

Until both of you arent on the same page.

Until one of you finds something or someone better.

Until things start to fall apart.

Against your better judgement, and against the instructions from your friends, you give them another chance.

And another.The next thing you know, youre stuck in a cycle of repetition.

A carousel you cant get off of.

So you take a step back.

Something finally clicks and, for you, things are back to normal.

Youre living your best life.

Doing things you enjoy.

Theres no pressure, theres no expectations.

Its just you, and for once, youre happy.

And then they come back.

By this time, youve separated the love that you had for them and your attraction.

By doing this, a friendship is forged.

Regardless of who was at fault before, that doesnt matter now.

Your friendship is strong and youre on the same team.

The past doesnt matter because youre not in that position anymore.

And then, things change again.

You blink and youre in that position again.

But now, the shoe is on the other foot, the ball is in your court.

What do you do?

Do you repeat the same cycle and attempt to enjoy the merry-go-round?

Do you believe them right off the bat?

Unfortunately, youre going to do all of the above.

If youre unlucky, the carousel will keep spinning with no end in sight.

But if youre lucky, really extremely lucky, this time could be the one that is different.

So what are you going to do?

Is the reward worth the risk or are you going to stop things before they even begin?

The choice is yours.
