People grow apart.
It’s a sad thing that happens in life, but it does happen. Sometimes you gain different interests, sometimes there are differences that can’t be reconciled. Sometimes you simply let too much time go between one ‘hello’ and one ‘goodbye’.
It happens.
It’s not the end of the world. Sometimes it feels like it is. Sometime you’ll rage and you’ll mourn and you’ll ache because you still wanted that person in your life. Sometimes you’ll just get a quiet sense of sadness because you’ll remember how much they meant to you and how much they *don’t* mean to you now.
And sometimes there’ll be a quiet sense of *relief*. Because your relationship had gone sour and so bad that you were still there only because you didn’t want to admit that the relationship had died a long time ago - talking either romantic relationships or platonic ones.
It’s a terrible thing, to have gotten to that point. But, you know. Letting go of those is HEALTHY. It’s not a bad thing to move away from something that gives you nothing but grief and hurt and pain. Letting go is a good thing. And not out of that douchebro bullshit of ‘IF THEY WERE YOURS THEY’LL COME BACK’. No-one belongs to anyone. EVER. But simply letting go because latching unto something so tight that you can’t see reason?
IT’S NOT GOOD.
Just let go. Cut loose while you’ll still be able to feel sad that you had to, while you’ll be able to miss the good ol’ days, instead of waiting until everything snaps and you’ll be *relieved* that it finally did.
