I was going through my list of blocked users on my Instagram when I had a thought. Can you really block someone out of your life? I mean, it seems that sometimes they come back into your life one way or another without it being intentional. You may be at the store and see that one person you never wanted to see again. But why? Why does God place these people into our lives, take them out and bring them back again? As much as I would like a definite answer to this complicated question, I don't think there is an answer.
I've always had this belief where if someone truly hurts you, you take them out of your life. I think everyone is in the same boat. Despite our intentions to take these toxic people out of our lives, they find their way back in without your permission. The question now is, do you let them? Say you do let them in. Would they be a different person than before or would they treat you the same way? You never know what outcome to expect. But what if you don't let them in? Would you regret your decision then?
I'm having a hard time because I see both sides of the situation. I'd want to take that person back only to see what their true intentions are, but then again remembering what they did just makes me want to push them even farther away. They’ve either truly changed or they're only using you for their own benefit because they see how far you've gone. This is what irks me the most about people from my past. They pretend to care when they are actually trying to put you down to make themselves feel better.
I'd like to believe that maybe they have changed but letting them back in wouldn't benefit you. In fact, I think the closest to a right solution to this problem is to walk away from this person. Yeah, you had your good moments, but people come and go. Those who go were meant to leave and those who stay are there for a reason. I guess you can't actually block someone out of your life completely, but you can walk away from them if they are only hurting you. I think when these people come back in your life, even just passing by, it's for a reason. God uses people sometimes to make us realize what we need to value and acknowledge more of than what we need to let go of and leave behind.
