“There are too many lonely people in the world waiting for someone else to make the first move.”
— Green Book
I don’t understand how people can remove someone from their life when, just hours before, that person meant so much to them.
Just like that. For no reason at all.
How is it that, when given the chance to clear something up, they don’t take it? Especially when it comes to misunderstandings, unspoken expectations, or little things that grow far bigger than they ever deserved to be.
How is it that pride can outweigh honoring a relationship or a bond that was supposed to last forever?
I don’t understand how people can be okay with not even trying one more time when they still have the opportunity to do so.
We all want to be heard, but above all, we want to be chosen.
If you’re one of the people who kept trying until you lost faith, until you felt like you lost your dignity, and they chose their pride over you: I’m sorry you went through that. I hope that, with time, you come to realize that your worth is greater than the importance they gave to what you were in their life.
And if you’re one of the people whose pride won over affection and shared history: f**k you. I hope it’s not too late when you realize that pride only attracts loneliness maybe not physical loneliness, but emotional loneliness.
Isn’t it ironic? The people who try and fail, and the people who want others to try for them and never receive it…
Disclaimer:
I’m not invalidating anyone’s reasons or motives. I’m sure they exist. But I believe that part of loving someone is accepting that life comes with highs and lows, ups and downs, disagreements, and misunderstandings. Relationships don’t survive because they’re perfect; they survive because they’re cared for. And the way we care for them is by talking even if that conversation is meant to end the relationship.
Because no one deserves to be left writing the ending of a story on their own just to let go of what could have been one more chapter in the plot of their lives.
