Letting Go
I've never had an easy time letting go of people I've cared about. Even when there are a mountain of reasons to walk away, I have a compulsion toward loyalty. And while that may sound all noble, it's probably closer to an insecurity than anything else.
Lately I've been struggling with someone who I've been friends with for about 4 years, and who stopped talking or even looking at me for no reason that they're willing to discuss. I am certain it's a shunning of conveniece, a play made for social capital. They hope the implications of such an act will get more attention than the (lack of) substance behind it. I just don't understand why #1, someone would do that at all, and #2, why they would labor to maintain it.
So this is me trying to do the whole cathartic release thing. I'm done trying, I can't "be the adult" when others don't want to participate. Let empathy take the reigns from frustration. Tao like water.
