Letting Go

Walking away from someone you have known for over a decade can be hard. But you have to let go of someone that you no longer trust, and does not value you as much as you do them. Someone who mocks you when need them most, who laughs at your troubles, and only needs you when it serves their own best interest -- is that really a friend? And what does it say about the person who allows this to happen?

I have consciously try to keep some of my friendships superficial so I don't open myself up for disappointment. Allowing someone who has disappointed/hurt you on numerous occasions is contrary to what I want in a person. This all became apparant to me yesterday -- with a phone call that illuminated the character of this person -- but I decided not to do anything until I slept on it. After a good night's rest, there was no change in how I felt and decided to divest myself from this relationship.

So . . . it is over.
