There comes a point in your life in which you must stop wasting your energy on people who are not worth the time and start putting yourself first. So often we as humans allow ourselves to be manipulated by people who do not deserve us. We allow them to consume our every thought and emotion and stop us from truly living life. We let them treat us however they want whenever they want. We give them our undivided attention and continue to disregard our own self worth and pride because we are blinded. Blinded by this idea that they that will change, blinded by this false notion that we mean more to them, and that somewhere deep inside they are good for us. We hold onto this glimmer of hope that we matter in their world and that we are the very thing that will change them and break the mold that seems to be inherited in so many. But sadly that almost never is the case. The inconsistency will never stop. Those who only confide in us when it is convenient for them will NEVER change. They will continue to use our weakness to their advantage until we finally stop giving in. That is why the time is now for us to let go and move forward. We must find the strength within ourselves to remove these people from our lives and realize they are not worth fighting for. No matter how hard it is, we need to remind ourselves that we deserve better. Our self-pride is far more valuable than any person. Those who bring us down and stop us from being the best version of ourselves are not worth the constant tears, self-loathing, or effort. Our happiness and our pride should always come first. So forget those who stop you from being genuinely happy and surround yourself with those who bring out the best inner you. Those are the ones worth fighting for.
