another quote of the day (from an e-mail fwd)
"There comes a point in your life when you realize
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past,
there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future."
. . . . .
Well said.
I guess some people will never get it. I still find it amusing occasionally.
Sometimes, you reach a limit of how many chances you think certain people deserve and when you really think about it, they're just not all that deserving of any more. Maybe I'm just sick of having to put up with certain people's ridiculous and questionnable tactics. Maybe I'm tired of going by the saying that "some people deserve the benefit of the doubt." It gets exhausting living by that mantra.
I made choices to walk away from certain people and situations - simply said, they really didn't matter enough to me for me to want to change things all that much. That speaks volumes as it is. Some people's true colours were revealed and as nice as I know I can be, I have my limits too and I really have no regrets about how things are right now. I really don't have much of a desire to stay in contact with certain people that I need to be on my guard when I'm around them. It is what it is. I feel that needs to be respected and the space that I purposely put in between.
I keep that distance for a reason.
If I really want you in my life, I will personally make the effort to keep you in it, and even go out of my way if necessary to stay in contact. Any lack of effort in doing so for a long time clearly says a lot on its own. I'm never too busy for those that I really care about and they know who they are.
Thanks but I'll pass this time around.
I really do have everyone I need already =)
