There's this actually fascinating art in walking away from certain people who don't treat you well, respect you enough to respond to you, or just don't act like you mean much to them. On one hand you want to be close with as many potential people as you can and you reach out trying to make new good friends. On the other hand you've got this respect for yourself and pride in how you act. The middle ground is difficult to find on occasion. It is something that I grapple with over and over again. When do you hold your head up high and walk away from the relationship?
I hold myself to a high standard. A large amount of the time I find myself not needing to do something but doing it anyway because I know the other person really deserves that. I know that is what I'd want 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 has become incredibly popular for people to just not respond to you, not take seconds out of their day to really 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 simply not like me? Do you just not care?
As I am going through life, things seem to become more intensified. I give my heart out to others in a unique way that I haven't ever been capable of before - and I love that I have started to develop that. But simultaneously I have experienced more perspectives that are just the grandest turnoffs in the world. I try and find that balance between giving people honest chances, and deciding to walk away. It's hard to let people in your life go especially when there is no big blowup of any sort.
It is hard to flip off trying to bring people joy. Because that really is what it really boils down to for me. I attempt to bring others as much joy as I am capable of throughout the course of the day. I try to make folks grin. I try 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 really 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 try to convince them...I just move on and end up leaving.
Finding the balance has been stupendously hard on my heart lately. But in all honesty, I know what I need to do. I need to walk away. I have to respect myself enough, the kind of person I am , and not really settle for something less than I know what I merit. You must know what you are worth. If you do not believe you are worthwhile, you will accept anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
