When people try to leave your life let them go. Saw that recently and thought it true. They will come back if it’s meant to be or they will stay away because they are supposed to stay away. Have you fought to hold on to a friendship only to realize at the end of it all that it was never meant to be but by that time it was too late? In my mind some people are just meant to pass through your life and bring some change. It might be good or it might be bad. Remember everyone passes through your life for a reason. If they are not meant to stay let them go, they will be replaced.
I figured this out early in life not just from my life but also from my mother’s life and the persons that came in and out of her life. The thing is some will come and stay but many will just pass though. That’s the group I am talking about. If the person is meant to go then let them. Why fight to keep them in your life if they don’t want to be there? Just wondering. Is it that we are expecting too much of the person that they are not willing to give? Or is it that they don’t see the friendship in the same way you do? 🤔
How do you know when it’s time to let go of a friendship? Are there warning signs or is it that we ignore them? I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.

After every phases of schooling I realize that those people usually fade away. I alway wondered why. That’s what brought me to read this. Another person’s perspective is good.
By university it got a little easier to let people fade away especially after being the person that usually reaches out. I got tired of pushing one sided relationships and build me with that energy.
I understand. It’s interesting how people fade in and out of your life. But when they start fading so you hang on or let go? I say let go.
Let go and let God is what I always say. Why hold people back from exploring is what I ask sometimes. So, just let people go so that they can explore. The energy expended trying to hold on to people who want to leave would have been put to use more efficiently if you channeled it into new friendships, this allowing someone else to associate with, and learn from you. Besides, there will be less or no stress in letting go.
My younger daughter recently adopted a stray cat that was in distress. She fed and nurtured it until it got it’s strength and enough love and care from her, then it just disappeared, and she was devastated. I had to let her know that that was the cycle of life playing out. So will life cycle around you, like as they say, a ‘revolving door’, with people coming into and leaving your life. Those who are meant to stay will indeed stay. And those who leave will espouse your good qualities in their dealings with other people.
It’s the circle of life. Some persons stay forever and there are no issues and there is growth or maybe not.
Holding on especially when you are the only one doing the work on the relationship can be very stressful so do you really want to hold on forever?
