Letting Go

When can you actually let go of someone who was once very close to you? I struggle with this on a daily basis and as I’m sure, most people do so. Letting go of someone whether it’s a friend, family, significant other, or even a pet is mentally draining. The reason for letting someone go can be even more mentally draining and physically draining. I’ve never really experienced much death in my life. Recently my grandfather in Germany passed away and I never got to meet him, but in my own selfish way that isn’t even the reason why I have a hard time letting go.

                I’m a person who cherishes my friends, because there are more friends than family. It almost seemed as if I cared more about spending time with my friends than with my family. It was a sad and cold reality. This year I’ve lost many friends due to drugs, time, work, school, etc. I’ve tried to make it work and even they have tried to make it work, but it just doesn’t. Some may say I’ve isolated myself and have become “stuck” on my boyfriend, but that is not the case. My boyfriend has bettered me and has been a better friend than my old best friends.  It’s a hard thing to go through, but can be the best for a person. I can focus on my job, my school, my family, my REAL friends,  and my future career. In the end, you always have to keep your head up.
