I’ve seen the writing on the wall for sometime, I feel this is the right time to step away from some friends. Even though, we may have been friends for many years or just a few, it’s in my best interest to move forward. It’s a move forward that will allow me to shake off the feel of inadequacy and the feeling of rejection. For awhile now, I’ve just had the feeling that these friendships have been one-sided. It’s been a feeling that I’m only called upon or talked to when you are having issues or has no one else to turn to. Then and only then do I get any conversation – albeit the conversation is only to involve around that friend. The feeling of being tossed aside until your next dilemma is no longer something that I care to be a part of at this time.
From this day forward, I’m going to focus more on me and my family. I’ll be putting my time, energy and focus on those who seem to have a consistent communication and desire to be my friend. This does not mean that I will not continue to pray for those I’m separating from, as I will always keep them in my prayers and life – just at a distance. I’m suddenly feeling a weight being lifted even as I write this out.
I appreciate the good, bad and other times we have had but I do believe that this is the best for me. So as I step away from the social weight I’ve been carrying around for so long – I look forward to new friendships that are nurturing and always evolving.
Go Me!
