It's been a while, and so much has happened. One particular thing though that I don't regret is losing a few friends. Some of you might be shaking your heads; some of you might think I'm insane for saying that, because who ever wants to lose anyone in their lives? I'm pretty sure no one really wants to lose people but honestly, sometimes it's a necessity. Why? Ask yourself: are they bringing any sort of value to your life? Or are they just there and somehow leeching off of you without bringing anything at all? That they're the ones benefiting from you and not benefiting each other?
Yes, Moose always has a story because these have actually happened. You can always skip to the end. I mean forget the story and the semi humor with it.
But anyway, this isn't the first time I've dropped people out of my life, and it certainly won't be the last because once that door closes, it closes for good and the bridges burn permanently. I don't have time to be dealing with people who flake out, make a bunch of excuses, causing everyone to fight with each other... it's ridiculously exhausting. Sadly, some people just never grow out of that. Plus side, the garbage sometimes takes itself out; there's no complaints there. It's less work to do. All you have to do is just say, "Buh bye".
Moving on! All I really know how this came about was being blocked on Facebook. It's stupid, I know, but the story gets better! I only found out while scrolling through my Facebook memories.Usually when you tag people, their name is in bold and this friend was not. I did a little checking only because I know nothing wrong had happened or maybe something did. Research showed that I was blocked, actually the only one blocked out of everyone else. Alright cool. I left it alone and a few days later, turns out, this friend has a girlfriend. I know most, if not all of you are thinking that he doesn't owe me an explanation. While that may be true, as far as I was concerned, I did nothing wrong; if I did, I wasn't aware and neither was it brought to my attention in order to address or fix it. I was pretty ticked off by it so if that's how it was going to be, then I guess it was the end.
I sent my message, I told them "Good bye" and :"good luck". It was hilarious to find that they would block me off Facebook but not my Instagram, peeping my posts but I fixed that. They tried, I'll give them that. In any event, they were having some menopause, "block/unblock" thing going. I fixed that too.
Even if they were trying to communicate, I wasn't interested and neither did I want to communicate. That opportunity was gone the moment I found out I was cut off without reason. Why should I give them the chance to explain themselves when I wasn't given the chance? I'm just trying to even out the playing field here. I noticed that they would be bouncing back and forth between blocking and unblocking me and I just did not have the patience to be dealing with some menopausal decisions they were making. I just did myself the favor and blocked them instead. At least this time, I'm solid in my decision. There was no back and forth, no bouncing around.
Do I regret cutting them off? No. Not at all. Looking back, they added no value to my life nor my personal growth. Nothing changed, nothing improved. It was more or less some of the same thing. While they were advancing, they slowed me down at the same time. They were benefiting from me without doing anything back. It was all take, no give. Because they no longer provide value and only burden and hindrance since they decide to be leeches and try to keep you down, it's time to walk away without any regrets. It's time to let go of the weight. It's for your own benefit this time and not theirs: yours. It'll be better for you in the long run. In the end, you get to see who's really and truly there to help you and is real enough to give back what they take, with no lies and no hidden agendas.
