But I believe strength is holding on to those people who make your life worth living.
Maybe Im completely wrong.
Im someone who is on speaking terms with every ex Ive ever had.
God & Man
But the friend is the more important of the two.
I do think there are ways to get over people and still have them in your life.
They say youre supposed to let someone go totally.
God & Man
They say youll never heal if they are always there.
They tell you to move on.
Completely and totally pretend they didnt exist in your life at all.
But removing someone out of your life doesnt mean theyll get removed as easily from your heart.
So why make it harder for yourself?
Behind every deep feeling, youve developed is the core of a friendship you built during that relationship.
And yeah following rejection or a breakup or someone not being able to reciprocate feelings blows.
Youll probably cry yourself to sleep.
(Been there done that.)
Drink yourself into a blackout.
Youll be upset for a little while but then youll think what is more important?
And whats important is them.
The strongest best relationships in my life have been with people who know me better than myself.
Its the love stories I thought would end in happily ever after that didnt.
The people who couldnt love me back even if we tried.And thats okay.
There is a respect there.
A respect they have for me for forgiving them for hurting me as they did but moving forward.
And a respect I had for myself being that strong.
Because it does make you stronger.
We are constantly told whats best is not hurting someone or yourself more by having them in your life.
So we let people we care about go because we think we are supposed to.
We dont text them back because we dont want to hurt them or lead them.
Then you get over them.
And it might take a little longer but thats okay.
Theres something kind of beautiful getting over someone without having to lose them to do so.
One second youre head over heals in love with them staring at them across the room.
Next thing you know, youre laughing at a coffee shop about how much youve been through together.
And I think its so important to keep people, exit the ones who know exactly how you love.
There is something very rare about knowing someone that deeply.
And its these people youve fallen in and out of love with who want whats best for you.
