When To Let Go

So you sit there wondering why that one person doesn't want to be with you, yet you keep trying. You give in, doing what they want all the time, til you end up just living for them. Face it, most people are so afraid of being alone. Even if you think there's nothing wrong with you (you may be right), maybe you're just not the one for THAT person. There's no sense in holding onto something that's just bound to end in heartache. You can't make someone love you if they choose not to. Stop wasting time trying to prove to someone who doesn't care, and wait on the one who will come along and love you like you're supposed to be love

If you start doing these for things, then I'm sure you're bound to learn to let go, and let God lead the way.

1. Learn to love yourself: Most people live for others. They never take time out of the day for "me" time. When you try to prove your love to that person, it comes off as pushy and scary. lol Which leads to that person taking you for granted because they know you are doing what's making THEM happy. You're not helping the relationship, you're hurting it, and quite possibly hurting you. You're giving that person the ability to step all over you without a care in the world.

2. Learn to say "No": I use to be a "yes" person. I always had trouble telling others no when it was appropriate. Even when I didn't want to do it, I did it anyway just to make other people happy. I always thought that if I said "no", people would think I was being rude and insensitive, but it's the other way around. You're standing up for yourself and letting others know that you demand respect. Don't stress yourself out all the time because you want to make someone happy. Be honest. Say no when you feel the need.

3. You Don't Need Others Approval: You're smart. Talent. Cute. You have a GREAT personality, and you're stable. You're sexy and you know it. You have a job and it pays well. So what? That's not what makes a relationship work. You don't need to prove to someone that you're a great catch. Just let it happen. When you force it, it comes off as being fake. Who wants to be in a false relationship. Allow people to see your great qualities. You don't have to list them when you first meet them. Let them see it naturally.

4. Move On: Something that most people don't know when or how to do it. What's the point in staying in a relationship that's not going anywhere? What are you gaining from that? Besides nothing. You came into the world alone (unless you're a twin) & you're going to leave it alone. I'm not saying you should be locked in the house with 20 cats. But reality is, you don't need anybody to make you happy. It comes from within. When you love yourself, you're content with being by yourself. There's no point in being with a relationship, when it feels like you're by yourself anyway. The other person is just taking up space in your home. Let them go. Be free, and let love find YOU.
