There's this really challenging art in leaving those who don't treat you well, respect you enough to reply to you, or just don't act like you mean much to them. On one hand you need to be close with as many people as you can and you reach out attempting to make new friends. On the other hand you have got this respect for yourself and pride in how you act. The middle ground is hard to find at times. It is something that I struggle with again and again. At what point do you hold your head up high and walk away from the relationship?
I hold myself to a pretty high standard. A great deal of the time I find myself not desiring to do something but doing it anyways because I know the other person really deserves that. I'm of the opinion that is what I might have needed if the situation was switched around. But I feel that most of the time people do not do that for me. I don't know if this is just my generation, but it's become incredibly popular for people to just not take time to respond to you, not take seconds out of their day to recognize effort, and just hide. I don't know what it is. I don't understand what makes people do this. Is it an absence of respect? Do you not like me? Do you simply not care?
As I'm going through life, things seem to become more intensified. I give my heart out to people in a fashion that I have truly never been capable of before - and I love that I have started to develop that. But at the exact same time I have experienced more and more attitudes that are just the largest turnoffs I've ever come by. I try to find that balance between giving people chances, and deciding to walk away. It's hard to let people go particularly when there isn't any massive blowup of any sort.
It's hard to flip off attempting to bring people joy. Because that's what it truly boils down to for me. I try and bring others as much joy as I can throughout the course of the day. I attempt to make people grin. I attempt to give them a little leg up, some confidence, some spark to their day that might make it all that much better and happier. I do not expect them to do exactly same for me...but I do look for respect, and if if it's really not there, I don't attempt to convince them...I just move forward and end up leaving.
Finding the balance has been stupendously hard on my heart lately. But in all honesty, I know what I must do. I have to walk away. I must respect myself enough, the type of person I am , and not really settle for something less than I know what I deserve. You have to know what you are worth. If you don't think that you are worthwhile, you may accept anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
