Some can with ease, and some cannot.  I’m in the latter.  I never burn bridges.  I always leave the door open preferring to think, I may see you again, someday. I want that to be pleasant.  Not strained. No questions, but more of a seamless jump back to were were left off, but in the now.

We’ve been talking of late about those who add value to our lives and those who do not. Those who, if they disappeared tomorrow, we just wouldn’t miss their presence in our lives.

And I suppose if I think about it that way, as opposed to how I usually do (that of burning bridges or walking away with some kind of stress laid on the relationship), he’s right.  There are plenty. *shrugs*

And then again, there are plenty more who do not.

It’s caused me to re-evaluate some of those “friendships” and look at where I feel stressed or taken advantage of. Which ones contribute and which do not, and too, where I contribute beyond being convenient for someone else.

I was initially puzzled with this.  But it helped me yesterday to decide to walk away.  She doesn’t add any value to my life.  And honestly, I can’t see it going or growing anywhere.

Realizing this, I feel not just ok, but good.  Selfish even.  And that’s a good thing…..

I have no time for the mundane, for the victim, the drama, lies in the name  of being taken advantage of and manipulated….
