Knowing when to let go.
Sometimes in life it is hard to know what is good for you and what is actually bad for you. There are so many people that we encounter throughout our journeys and sometimes it is hard to know when to let certain people go. You have people in your life that bring you happiness and some that just bring you down. You also have those who does both. If you find yourself constantly having to tell someone how to treat you then let them go. If you are not being heard, let them go. If everything they say is negative, let them go. If they are not making you better, let them go. In everything you do in your life you should be becoming a better person. A better friend, sibling, parent, student, etc. So anyone getting in the way or stopping that you should just let go for the sake of your own growth. You also have those people in your life that are not necessarily bad, but you are walking two completely different paths, that is ok! My best friend and I have always walked two different paths, but she is a great person and I always felt that our differences only ever made us better friends and better people. Also it is ok to just give distance to certain “friends”. This does not mean you have to stop being friends, but some people you do not need to talk to on a regular basis. Often distance = closeness. Growing up my oldest sister and I were never close and it was not until I moved out that we became close. Now I cannot go a day without talking to her. Just know when someone is contributing to your life and when they are not.
*Always remember: Alone time is a necessity. Being alone does not always mean being lonely. Alone time allows us to get a clear mind and be a peace. Being in your own company is important for self-love, which is ultimately the best love.
